Cranky Boys

We read an article on comforting or controlled crying the other day and decided we would give it a go. The boys have been a little cranky in the evenings of late making it a tiresome experience for the whole family. Tonight we bathed them and fed them then settled them down in bed and let them alone for five minutes. Within a few minutes their little lungs were open and the sobbing started, not seriously but then grew in intensity. After five minutes I went to visit the loudest one, in this case Andrew and settled him again by finding his dummy and  tucking him in. Being careful not to pick him up. So he knew we were around but there was no cuddling going to happen. So far so good, will give you an update on how it pans out, but we are looking forward to a quieter night !
