sleep training day

It's the end of the swaddle for us. Maybe and hopefully forever.   We're sleep training Harper now because she gets out of the swaddle.  So the sleep training begins.  Sleep training consists of a strict sleep schedule, a lot of crying it out, and less rocking the baby to sleep. Even when you go into comfort her when she's crying, your not suppose to pick her up.  I'm not totally trained yet so it's been my wife doing a lot of the training and I've been on toddler duty. It's just a way for her to figure sleep out on her own.

We all could use a little more sleep.  We are a sleep deprived society and if we could only get more rest, than maybe we could all be more productive.   But I think it's essential to get her on a schedule sooner than later before we lose our minds.  On a lighter note, the weekend has been nice and it's summer in this city.  And you see random folks who you haven't seen in forever and you remember why you live here. And you say to yourself, "This must be the place".  This, or Portland.
