> I work for a long time when he goes to bed. But lately it's been hard to work when he goes to bed. He likes us to lay down with him until he falls asleep, that is a nasty habit I wish I never started. But I tried really hard and watching them do it on "Super Nanny" I thought for sure I could do it. (My husband works at night so he's not home to help.)

Was this the separation thing? Our daughter would NEVER sleep without help, and constantly wanted to come to bed with us. We tried everything before that worked. It's such an easy thing to fall into when they are a baby, and it's so hard to derail once you do! Now she falls asleep on her own like a charm, and I made sure the twins never got used to falling asleep with so much help and they go down much easier than my first ever did. Perhaps I will write an article about the sleep issue! It's a huge one! And I used to do the exact same thing... It is EXHAUSTING getting a child to sleep... by the way they are asleep, you are too! I know there were times I would fall asleep trying to get her to sleep, then wake up and look over and she was just staring at me! I would think, "Crap!"
