Good Night Clay

There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him asleep. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is the story of our lives right now, we're trying to help Clay to fall asleep in his own bed. It's really hard on both of us right now. We know that in the long run this is the best thing that we can do for him, but it really does hurt to listen to him cry. It just breaks my heart. If there are any suggestions out there of what we could do, let us know. We're not desperate or anything just realizing that it could be better.

play soft, classical music. puts me to sleep like a baby....uh, er, no pun intended. but i simply must agree with mikey. a fantastic book! two thumbs up. it seems to have worked, as gabriel never really had problems when he lived in my room...

Just to clarify, we messed up with Gabe. We didn't follow this advice. You can probably find some videos on Youtube that show you how the Happiest Baby on the Block technique works.
