Sleeping Beauty

Ellie has slept in her crib, all night, without nursing, since Friday night!!! Cameron and I made a mutual decision (after many tears and silent treatments from me during our date last Friday night due to lack of communication) to work on getting her to sleep in her room at night instead of focusing on her not nursing during the day. It seems that when she didn't eat during the day, she nursed ALL NIGHT. So, it was decided that Cam would put her to bed and get up with her in the night. She didn't like it Friday night. She cried. A LOT. But that was the last time. From Saturday on, she has not even woken up to cry in the night. And she isn't awakening from her beauty slumber until 7 or 8 in the morning. However, she flipped flopped and started throwing fits all day to nurse. And by fits I mean, she throws herself on the floor and goes limp screaming. Fits. The other two never did that. Scary. Hope it isn't a mean preview of the terrible twos. She does have a temper. A red headed temper. Which would be better if she had the beautiful hair to go with it, but she doesn't. So we will see. Anywho, the fit throwing lasted through Sunday. Then, on Monday, I guess she decided she was adjusted to life with the boob only three times a day (morning, naptime, and bedtime). And I am adjusting with her. Loving it actually. And I didn't think I would. But the freedom is amazing, and the nights are better than that!! So, the road to weaning is now getting shorter. We are almost there!!
