Today is the first day that I've had Nyla upstairs in her crib for a nap while I'm downstairs. I'm using our baby monitors to listen for her, but I know she's sleepy so I'm ignoring her sleepy-cry. I've never done this before. Usually I'll rock her to sleep or nurse her until she's knocked out. Nyla really has no concept of falling asleep on her own, so today I'm trying to see if she'll do it.
So as I type, she's upstairs hollering away, but not like the psycho-baby cry. It's the "mommy, come get me" cry. I'm going to give her 15 minutes and see how she goes. Now let's see if I actually last all 15 minutes. I have to have some willpower here. I don't want Nyla to be 2.5 years old and still needing to be rocked to go to sleep.
I figure I'll re-watch the True Blood from the other night to keep me from going upstairs.
9 minutes later: she's having an all-out fit right now. But the sleepy cry is still there. Will continue watching True Blood.
17 minutes later: SHE'S ASLEEP! yesyesyesyesyes!
