Last night..... (and really every night for the past few months) has been like this......
Jenna is so tired by 7pm that she drinks 2 -3 ounces of her bottle and falls fast asleep. We put the other kids to bed by 8pm. After watching about 5 minutes of the Redskins playing horribly we went to bed - about 9pm. Half the week Drew will "talk" and make noise from 9pm to 11pm; the other half he's quiet as a mouse the whole night. That's another story....
Back to Jenna..............so.... by 10:30pm Jenna was fussing, so I went in sat with her on the rocker and she drank another ounce or two and fell fast asleep. I was back in bed within 25 minutes. Then again the same exact drill at 1:30am. Then again at 3:30am, BUT this time I did it...... I let her cry. It took 15 minutes of her "complaining" and another very long 25 minutes of outright crying (which Dave said was a mad cry, I said was a sad cry). She fell asleep and woke when hearing her brother and sisters at 7am.
I've said it before....Dave and I are tired, tired, tired. See how tonight goes....

You can do it! You're stronger than she is! Hang in there, this is the hardest part.
