There is more sleep to be had at our house these days. I would like to say that I was diligent in purchasing the parenting books suggested, read them, and am applying the techniques suggested; but that is not the case. Sheer exhaustion mixed with a good dose of frustration led me to move Ollie's pack-and-play into our decent sized bathroom so that he could cry out those moments when I know that he is well-fed and sporting a clean diaper...and IT WORKED! The first night he might have cried for a total of fifteen minutes but awoke the following morning bright eyed and still loving me. The effects of a reasonable night of sleep are amazing. Thanks to all who responded to my "sleep deprivation" entry.
Abel has also contributed to the sleep solution by actually making it to the potty at night and wetting his bed far less--all fun obstacles to overcome involving areas of parenting that I just did not think about before having kids. There just has to be some personal character development obtained after going through all of this.
