February has flown by and we are now officially tackling the sleep issues with our son, rather than just talk about it. After spending 10 days in Florida with a child who refused to sleep anywhere but our bed it was time to get serious about our child's sleeping behavior. The first night back from vacation, we followed our sleep book's instructions. We brought Asher back to his bed every time he got up, unfortunately it lasted for over 2 hours. He finally, fell asleep half on and half off the bed, but we were able to sleep in our bed by ourselves for the first time in 2 months. It was such a wonderful feeling not to be kicked or have your hair pulled at all hours of the night. The rest of the week, he continued to protest, but we stuck to our guns, As a result, his voice is now hoarse. He now has a routine for crying out to us and falling asleep on the hardwood floor of his room. It is sad, but we know we are doing the right thing. We are hoping this phase ends soon.

| Asher clutched the book yesterday and asked me to read it to him. If only we were on the same page... |
 |
| He sleeps on the floor now and refuses to sleep in his crib. |
 |
| Usually, he does not sleep this close to his bed, instead it is by the door to his room. |
