9 out of 10 monkeys believe they are not behind glass

So the time has come, the time to put the baby down and let her cry herself to sleep.

My wife did not survive the ordeal. I am probably scarred for life.

But she went to sleep after a half hour of screaming. Which is pretty good for the first try, in my humble opinion.

I was expecting her to scream for a bit longer and another attempt of intervals would have to be made after holding her for a bit. After 45 mins of bellowing, you have to abandon hope and try, try again after she calms.

I went in there after 5 mins, laid my hand on her chest and talked to her. Then after she calmed down a bit, I left. After 8 mins of crying, I went in again and repeated. Then I was supposed to wait another 12-15 mins before consoling again, and at minute 12 she calmed herself and whimpered a few times and then promptly passed out.

Nothing like a good cry to make you fall asleep.

My wife should know… she was crying herself on the couch the entire time. I just grabbed my knees and tried to watch Lilo and Stitch on the Disney channel.

I love that movie. I don’t know why. It is just a hilarious flick.

The doctor said that we will have to go through three nights of screaming before she will learn. One night down, two to go.
