Hysterical III

If you have noticed a pattern to these entries, you're very perceptive. Tommy has so far fallen asleep several times alone in his crib, but at the moment he is again hysterical. Have I mentioned how painful this is? And how my neighbors are definitely calling child protective services by now?

Um, Officer...my son is in nap boot camp right now....he needs his sleep...

I wonder how long this is going to take.

Last night, John was not particularly supportive of the cry-til-he-sleeps plan. It IS really hard. And we do have neighbors in the apartment building. For a while, we just waited it out in the living room on the couch. Everyone feels so vulnerable...Tommy, because he's tired and thinks we've left him, and us, because when your baby cries you have only the desire to comfort. Can anything else really be a good idea?
