I wanted to say a big thankyou to you all... We had our first bedtime without crying in weeks tonight!

We took a bit of everyone's advice and mixed up the routine and then cuddled him till he was starting to close his eyes. I put him down and thought he'd gone to sleep, but a few minutes later he started chatting away... Oh no I thought... but then after ten or so minutes it stayed quiet. Went and checked on him and he was sound asleep Thanks ladies, I seriously can't remember the last time this he self settled for the night!

we can make this happen again tomorrow night...
