Another First
Last night marked another first for our little one... his first time getting sick (as in, yucking out his dinner). We put him to bed as usual, however as soon as we put him down he was awake. And crying. We decided to let him cry it out and twenty minutes later he was asleep. We were so proud of him, and ourselves. When I went in to check on him before we went to bed I noticed that he had gotten sick everywhere. The next half hour was spent changing his bedding and cleaning the crib to put him back down. Luckily he didn't wake up after that, but today Elijah and I are home for a sick day. So as if it isn't hard enough to hear your child screaming and deciding to let them soothe themself, now we will always remember this time... when we let him scream and he got sick.

Dont be so hard on yourself. I went through something very similar with Emmy. I have the 20min rule which is "after 20 mins if shes still crying i go check on her" The one time she stopped crying right at 19mins I didnt go b/c "it was under 20" I went in about 40mins later to check on her and her diaper had leaked and she/her jammies the sheets, etc were drenched and it was full the other way too. I felt horrible. After that It was hard to not go in every time she cried but after about a week or two I went back to my "20 mins" rule and since then we've been great. Youre doing a wonderful job hon! :) Keep your head up & I hope Elijah feels better!
