"Energy and persistence conquer all things"... Benjamin Franklin

Happy Friday everyone! I am writing this post as my little one is sleeping in his chair next to me. What does this mean? It means that Niko won again. :)

I am trying to get Niko to learn to fall asleep on his own, without having to be held by pablo and I. This is something he did just fine until recently. So, according to all the books I am suppose to lay him in his crib and let him cry. Let me tell you... that is hard. So, today, in great efforts to be a good mamma, I put him in his crib and let him cry, and went into his room every 5 min. to reassure him and calm him back down. Well, one thing the books don't tell you is how long to keep doing that if he keeps crying rather then calming down and falling asleep. So, after about 35 min. I caved and grabbed up my little boy and held him.

The funny thing was that he fell asleep in my arms with one little hand clinching my shirt, as if he knew that would keep me from putting him down and leaving.:)

So, the first battle of the day ended in my surrender. We will try to conquer again tomorrow.

Here's to you and the battles you will face today, wishing you better success!
