golden

and this, my friends, is the sweet sight of success. after 8 days of learning, of the up and down, the interrupted nights, the getting past my fear of her rolling off the bed in spite of the rail guard, the late nights and long days, we finally made it. she goes to bed when it's time for bed, we no longer have to tell her to get back into bed, and she will put herself to sleep, just as she used to in her crib without a peep to be heard. it's amazing. or AMAZEBALLS as some i know like to put it. the only downfall is that she wakes up at 6:45 or 7am everyday, and comes into our room, now that she doesn't have to wait for us to get her. it's like clockwork, i tell you. no matter what time she goes to sleep, it's a guarantee that we'll get a knock at our door, or a small "mommy" that calls out in the wee hours of the morning. she used to sleep in some days. but nope, not anymore. clockwork. 7am everyday. but i'll take it if it means that bedtime is easy and not so much a struggle and we can all get a good nights sleep. i'm still not sure if we should take any credit (maybe we did something right?), or if she is just innately THAT GOOD. i tend to think it's the latter. i'm not getting my hopes up for the second one. well, maybe just a little bit...
