Bad Habit Broken!

Yes I am in my child's crib. Showing him that his crib is fun and yes he is going to sleep in it. We have all had a cold around our house last week. Hollis would wake up at 4am and we would put him in our bed. Well as the week went on he started waking up earlier and earlier(like 10pm). We could not figure out what was wrong. Our child has always slept in his bed all night. Well he was playing us because as soon as we put him in our bed he would start snoring. Also when we laid him down in his bed he would flip out. So this week we started sleeping boot camp.
The day before his 1st day of school he woke up at 2am and cried til 4am standing in his bed with his blanket. Not just a cry, a top of the lung I am so mad at you scream. Finally he sat down and kept nodding off and went to sleep.

The next night I think he might had cried for 15 mins in the middle of the night. The next he cried 15 mins when we laid him down, and last night 5 mins when we laid him down. Boot Camp worked!!!! It is not easy listening to the screaming but I think it was worth it for all us.
