Ferber Method, Day 3

Overnight was significantly easier than before we started with the sleep training.  She was up once, drank a little less than usual, and was back to sleep in a couple of minutes.  She woke up bubbly, we woke up more rested, and started the day off with a good breakfast.  After a couple hours of play, it was time for a little milk and an easy glide into a nap.  She popped up a little while later, ready to play.  After lunch, some more play, and another nap.  After the nap, more play, dinner, and more play.  After this play period, we messed up.  It was way before her bedtime, but she was tired, so we put her to bed.  She woke up a couple hours later, after her normal bedtime, and close to ours, thinking she had just taken a great nap.  After more than an hour and a half of screaming, and a small bottle, we picked her up.  Playtime followed until close to midnight.  At the first sign of a yawn and eye rub, we put her back to bed, and she was asleep in less than a minute.  We'll see if we messed up the routine in the next day or so.
