The 3 day rule

Well, we all survived me being back at work for 2 weeks and now I have spring break! I have big plans...1) spending time with my boys 2) spring cleaning 3) getting Jonas on a schedule (that includes sleeping in his crib in his room).
Mimi gave us this great book called The Moms On Call Guide To Basic Baby Care. This has been the best book for us! Everyone says babies don't come with an instruction book - but this is as close as I have found and we refer to it almost daily. I should have it memorized by now but the brain cells haven't quite regenerated as fast as I thought they would from being pregnant.
The three day rule is getting the baby to sleep in his own room using a bath time and bed time routine. So we started our three days on Sat. night. Jonas cried for an hour (with mommy and daddy checking on him every 10 min.) and a few tears from mommy before he fell asleep for 5 and a half hours. Then last night was our second night. He fell asleep right away but then woke up about an hour and a half later crying and crying. After checking on him a couple of times - he was sleeping again. But last night he definitely woke up more often than the night before. We are trying to get him to eat and sleep around the same time everyday. I think this will be helpful for all of us. Hopefully tonight will be easier...it's the third day!
The swing is his FAVORITE place to take a nap. It has magic powers - whenever he gets in it he falls right asleep and stays asleep for hours (if we let him). We call it the magic swing!
