Oh Yeah ... Ferber?

It's going okay. I stopped the tracker thingy because Taryn has been doing great on it. She's falling asleep without crying at least half the time, and when she is crying, it's only for a few minutes.

I count this as a sucess, I just stopped counting minutes because 1) I'm sick. And when I'm sick, I'm lazy. 2) Taryn is sick, and I feel bad for my little angel suffering with a cough and a runny nose, sneezing, and teething to boot. And 3) the holidays jacked up her sleep schedule anyway. Staying up past midnight on Christmas Eve (I guess Christmas morning, really) and the fact that certain people that I am related to by marriage piss me off by not letting me put my baby to sleep when she's tired, and when I finally do wrestle her away from them she's so overtired she can't sleep. And they tell me I'm a crappy relative for not bringing her around enough, even though they don't come to visit us and I've told them what time she goes to sleep but they always want to show up late and then get all bent out of shape that I won't wake her up again... So it really didn't seem fair to continue the Ferber thing through the holidays.

And of course as I write this, she's in the background screaming.

But as soon as I wrote that, she stopped.

*sigh*
