Still screaming...

No seriously.  The Bug is still screaming.  We'll put her down in the crib and she will literally scream at the top of her lungs for an hour or more.  Each time.  And then not nap.  I swear the neighbors can hear her and are going to call CPS on us one of these days...

Obviously, our sleep training is still an uphill battle.  I'll admit it - I'm jealous of parents who tell me their child is either a) an excellent sleeper (freaking overachievers) or b) screamed for only 30 minutes the first night and then considerably less the following nights.  But if we're putting her down for a nap 3 times a day and she screams for an hour each time and has done this for a week, maybe something's wrong?  For some reason, my child feels abandoned when we put her down for a nap.

Going to sleep at night isn't as much of an issue.  She'll pass out, but it's the 15 crying wake up calls during the course of the night that are killing us.  We're needing some patience big time because we're both exhausted and snippy.  I feel like we should be on an episode of Super Nanny...

Today in an act of desperation, we put the pad from the pack n play where she's been living in her crib.  Oddly enough, she's currently laying quietly in her crib.  Please continue to work.  Please continue to work...

And now she's crying again.  CRAP.
