Bedtime Battles

Apparently, I jinxed myself and bragged one too many times about how well my child goes to bed. Usually, it took nothing more than a binkie and a blanket and he was good to go! The last 3 to 4 nights, he has thrown the worst fits at bedtime! I am at my wits end. He spends a good hour to an hour and a half freaking out. I thought he was scared of the dark, so I out a night light in his room. No luck. I rock him till he's alomst asleep and the minute I lay him down in his bed, he's screaming and crying. Mike rocked him till he was completely asleep and he still woke up and freaked out! I am now doing the "cry it out" thing and going in at five minute intervals to put him back in his bed and calm him down. Nothing is working!! I fear you will be reading about the crazy lady in the paper if this continues! Oh, and as an added bonus for me, Mike leaves tomorrow for 6 days. Yay.
