BUT...we have learned. We have learned not to give into his little game. We caved two nights ago...we broke the oath....we went IN. He was supposedly having trouble with covering himself back up with his blankie. So Cameron coached him through that (groggily) at 2am..."pull it up Hayden, all the way, a little higher, ok...now push it down back over your feet, ok good...happy now? Yeah, Dad, thanks"...the end. That was the end of it and he slept the rest of the night. Then last night, right on schedule, he woke again at 2am again...crying. We did NOT go IN. He cried, we woke up, he cried some more, I turned off the monitor, he probably cried some more (I don't know, I fell back to sleep), but he obviously worked through it because he stopped and went to sleep at some point in there. I hope he doesn't continue tonight. But, he probably will, so we just need to be strong and not go IN. God help me if that nasty sleep cycle started again and lasted another freakin' 1/2 a year. I will not cave! -- mam
