I'm sorry I haven't been updating the blog lately. I'm actually taking a break from blogging right now until further notice. I'm going through a "little" challenging time right with sleep training Ilyah. It's really an emotional roller-coaster and I'm emotionally and physically tired everyday because of it.
Taiamani has been really great from Day 1, which was a complete surprise to us. The fact that she's going to school has proabably a lot to do with it. I actually feel for her because Ilyah is disturbing her sleep with his cries. The first few days, she told me that she didn't want to go to sleep because it hurts her ears when Ilyah cries. She would litterally put her hands at hers ears and go to sleep.
As for Ilyah, the first week has been good, not perfect, if I compare it to this week. I do "walk in/ walk out" method, and it used to take me 20 min max until he stops crying and go to sleep on his own. Well, ever since this past monday, he would be hysterical and it takes us (Juri now does the nights) 1hr (monday was 1hr and a half). He is soooooo tired, but he still finds the strengh to fight the sleep.
I am determined to keep it up until he finally learns to sleep independently. I knew it would take some time but I didn't think he would regress so much for week 2. I don't get much on the computer anymore, I just can't concentrate on anything. I try to survive and keep my sanity for now. I'm hoping the nightmare will be over soon. I'll try to update the blog, but it's not a sure thing. Until then, Happy Valentine's Day!
