The best ideas are stolen.

My beautiful husband and I had a date last weekend. Oma and Opa volunteered to not only baby sit Mr. Frank, but also keep him all night so that we might catch up on some much needed sleep. The next morning we realized how helpful sleep in functioning throughout the day. So we had an idea, or rather we stole an idea.

Our friends Bret and Abigail were having trouble getting their little punkin to sleep through the night. Their solution was "Family Camp". http://bretthumphreys.blogspot.com/ Mommy and Daddy "sleep" in the living room while precious screems it out for as long as necessary before colapsing and falling to sleep.

We are 3 nights in. So far, he has slept every night without waking up at all. We're afraid to move back into our own room to break the streak.

Oh, Family Camp! I'm so glad that has been working for you - keep up the good work, I know it isn't easy...

With both of mine...once I finally did it, I wondered why I waited so long. But actually, waiting that perfect length of time was what it took (desperation) to have the stamina to be strong. So anyway - I hope your trend continues!
