I have to say that my little angel has been a perfect little baby since thew day she was conceived.  She never really cried and if she did, it was for a reason (hungry, tired, wet diaper, gas, or lonely)  I have put her to bed every night with a few exceptions.  We began our routine by breastfeeding and falling asleep during the process.  Then I moved on to feeding her and then rocking her to sleep.  After some reading I figured it was best for her to learn to self soothe and learn to fall asleep on her own.  She learned how to do that very quickly.  I was very impressed and proud.  

Now, I feed her dinner, change her into pajamas, read her a story or two, sing her a couple songs and put her down in her crib.  Almost every night she will roll over and cuddle with her teddy bear and fall asleep for the night.  On the rare occassion she will cry for a little bit and then fall asleep.  On the super rare occasion she will cry and cry until I go in and calm her down and solve the mystery of the crying baby.  I have decided that she probably cries these times due to a tooth coming in.  

Tonight, she fell asleep with about 10 seconds of crying.  She then woke up about 1.5 hours later crying with real tears.  I of course calmed her down and her daddy made her smile while I changed her wet diaper.  I then went to get her to sleep again and it was impossible.  She was fine when I held her and rocked her.  She even played her binky game with me and was laughing.  Then I calmed her and she had her head down.  I put her down, she cried.  I eventually tried to pretend to go to sleep next to her crib, thinking this would give her the hint.  No, she thought it was hilarious.  She laughed and began dropping binkies on my face.  I couldn’t help but laugh.  She is so adorable.  

Long story short (not so much), she is sleeping now.  I sit her finally feeling peace.  I just can’t relax when she is not sleeping peacefully.  I just know her teeth are bothering her and she just needed time for the motrin to work.  I really have to remember to give that to her when I put her to bed at 6.  Anyway, I am going to relax now before I go to bed.  Bed time is still one of my favorite times of the day.  Always has been and always will be!  It is such a nice time to relax, bind, and reflect on the day and look forward to the day to come.  Good night.
