    Woohoo Spring!!! I'm so glad that he settled so well for you! I hope he continues to do so for you, but like others have said, it may not always be that easy every time. It's so nice when they do though!!

    My DS went down really easily this morning for his first nap, but his second was a doozy. I ended up just leaving him to cry for a minute because everything I tried was making it worse. I planned to go back in to put his dummy in, but before I could he had gone off to sleep! This literally took a minute or two. I really think sometimes they just need to have a bit of a wind-down cry and then they can work it out for themselves. It makes me feel horrible though, but maybe like you said, they are trying to tell us to leave when they are squirming and crying?

    I hope you feel a bit more empowered now!
