Nights ... oh my goodness... Jaden is going through a stage of bad napping and night time sleeping. We tried the cry yourself to sleep thing for almost 2 weeks and were really consistent like everyone kept telling us to be. By the last day Jaden was crying up to 2 hours before falling to sleep, screaming and waking up several times a night, and then screaming and being inconsolable for over an hour when he woke up each morning. He also wouldn't allow us out of his sight without hysterics or look us in the eye anymore. It was hard, and we knew it would be, but his reaction was so different compared to every other baby I've heard of that I think it must be related to attachment problems. We have been cuddling him to sleep for two nights now and he is back to his cheerful self. It was scary the way he reacted to it. I just keep praying that he doesn't have huge attachment problems because of the adoption. I'm such a mom.
