Sleep Update

Well it has been two weeks since we started Lyla's "Sleep Challenge"! She isn't exactly "sleeping through the night", but things are soooo much better than they were two weeks ago. The thing that changed the most was they way Lyla goes down for bed in the evening. No more tears at bed time for Lyla...or us. I am no longer nursing her to sleep (which honestly, I didn't realize I was truly doing...or maybe I was just in denial) and she goes down in her crib awake but very tired. Now, we read her a story before bed, say our last goodnight, and she drifts off to slumber land all on her own without a peep. We are still totally amazed by this each night.
She is still waking up once in the night...but we figure it will eventually get easier. At least it's just once and not three times. I'm not sure what our next step will be...I guess we will keep trying with what we are doing and hope for the best. Maybe she just needs a little more time than two weeks...
