sleep methods... =0(

Look how small you make a queen size bed look... Connor bug doesn't even have room!

Dear Hunter,
We’re not getting any sleep lately. You wake up every two hours to check that I’m still in bed with you and if I’m not you completely freak out. Last night you cried for almost two hours and I was laying in bed right next to you. Which has prompted me to try the strategy that I least agree with in the whole world. Crying it out. I’ve made a few lame attempts in the past. They always ended less than an hour later with a sobbing Hunter and a guilt that wouldn’t end. This time though we’re going to give it 100% and see what happens. It’s not going to be fun. I’m going to hate every second of it. However, we’ve got to start getting some sleep and we’ve tried everything else we can possibly think of to try, including buying a separate queen mattress so our family bed would get bigger. We’re out of ideas. So… if for some reason this strategy totally ruins you as an adult or you never forgive me- know ahead of time that I’m sorry and I’m doing it for all of our sanity. I love you and love you and love you!
You’ve had a fascination with the outlets lately. Daddy is going to cover them with blank plates so that you can’t get to them. It seems like at least once an hour you go over and pull off the covers. You’ve been getting in trouble and we yell DANGER at the outlet. You have now taken to walking over to the outlet and pointing at it and yelling DANGER! Most of the time it just sounds like a very defined D sound, but today you said the word perfectly!
You’ve been saying a lot of words lately. You repeat words that we say to you very well. I just know you’re going to be talking up a storm soon. I can’t wait to see what you have to say!
I love you,
Mommy
