You know one of the hardest things about being a parent is that 'they' (all of the experts) say you have to teach your baby how to sleep on their own and to self sooth. What a concept! Teaching them to sleep. And who, may I ask, teaches the parents how to teach the baby to sleep without 'accidentally parenting' them? (for those familiar with the baby whisperer)
And 'they' tell you that if you don't manage to get this right - you can some how cause permanent damage - like hyperactivity, obesity, serial killers (just joking, that was my addition).
Wow! Talk about stress. Who knew that not sleeping properly could screw your kid up for life. And that if I could somehow manage to teach Kai this 'simple skill', this act alone could possibly be one of my greatest accomplishments in life and my greatest contribution to society! :-) (Well, wish us luck, we are still working on mastering this world saving skill.)
