Total and utter failure on my part. My god. The shrieking. It’s like we’re KILLLLLLLLLING HIMMMMMMMM!!!! All the time.
I couldn’t take it. I picked him up. 2 times.
My husband is somewhere rolling his eyes and calling me “sissy,” under his breath.

CIO night 5 and 6
Saturday, April 28th, 2007CIO Night 4
Thursday, April 26th, 2007Mom 2. Baby 1.
Dad. Exhausted.
I tried a new strategy. I didn’t come home until 9…and it worked! The kid was asleep and Arch won’t tell me how long he cried for.
I could get used this.
CIO night 3
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007Mom 1. Baby 1.
The kid broke me. Or, to be more accurate, I broke down (much to the chagrin of my cold hearted husband). After 1 hour and 20 minutes of shrieking I picked Jack up and he promptly fell asleep in my arms.
I am not sure who was crying more. Me, or Jack.
UPDATE –
I’m not sure that everyone knows that CIO stands for Cry it Out.
CIO night 2
Monday, April 23rd, 2007Mom 1. Baby 0.
Arch keeps on bringing people over to distract me from the crying. Last night it was our neighbors. Tonight, it was Katherine & David. The distraction tonight? Welcome, but unecessary.
That’s right. The boy went down with out a fight. We could get used to all this quiet around here…
CIO
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007Night 1.
1 hour 15 minutes of sustained, very angry crying. Crying that said “dude. I can hear you, why the hell aren’t you picking me up!” …and then sleep.
keep your fingers crossed for night 2.
