When we decided to have NJ I was pretty intimidated about the whole thing. Since I have never been a kid person I had many questions as to whether I had the stuff to be a father. When we decided to have CD I had gotten past most of those concerns. We had our challenges with NJ, but very little of the problems were challenges that I felt incapable of handling. CD couldn't be too much different.
While both kids have their similarities, it is amazing how different the challenges are that we are facing with CD compared to what we saw with NJ. She has far different sleeping patterns, has different eating patterns, and even seems to move around differently than NJ (she hasn't really attempted to crawl yet because she can get across the room easier by rolling).
The sleeping habits are the ones that are causing the most effort for Golden right now, so that is what we are working on. Tonight is the first night of using the Ferber method to get CD to sleep. This means that we will probably be hearing some crying over the next few nights. If it means less effort in getting CD to sleep going forward, though, putting up with a little crying is worth it.
At least we can console ourselves that CD will be easier to potty train than NJ. Right?
