Way Back at the Beginning of September - Sophia's Story!

Sophia was a terrible sleeper as a baby. Nothing changed as she turned into a toddler. We tried everything to get her to sleep through the night. At three years old, she was still waking several times a night, crying, wanting someone to sleep with her. But finally, I decided it was enough. No one in the house was getting a good night's sleep. So one night I put her in bed determined to make her fall asleep by herself - no one sitting with her, no one laying down with her. Just tuck her in and make her sleep by herself. She did not like it - at all. She screamed, kicked, screamed some more, kicked even more. About an hour and a half later, she had fallen asleep - very upset with me! We continued this for a couple nights with slow improvement. Finally, a few nights later, Soph went to sleep by herself and stayed asleep by herself all night long. We were sooo happy! Pablo and I got up early that morning and prepared a special surprise for her - a card and balloons on her breakfast chair. Since then, its been smooth sailing. Good job Sophia!!!
