Operation Nap Time

So "Operation Nap Time" is going pretty well! I put Jack in his crib yesterday for another try at a nap alone. My limit has been 30 minutes of crying before I go get him and hold/rock him back to sleep. I really didn't want him to cry any longer than that. Hooray! It only took 29 minutes! Then I put him down for his next nap (because he takes 3 or 4 a day) it only took 15 minutes. Then I got really brave and laid him down for the night while he was still awake and he did cry, but it was only for 5 minutes. AND he slept for almost 9 hours!!! Sooo, today he is falling asleep after only 5 minutes of crying. I know I sound like a crazy and obsessed mom with this, but I have needed this sweet little boy to take a nap by himself for quite awhile. I hope he falls asleep soon without crying. He'll figure out soon enough that naps are a good and pleasant thing. The laundry is getting done, as well as the dishes and other things that have been sorely neglected by me. I love being a mom and I love these kids of mine.
