Yes! The Ferber Method by Danielle

Thanks Amber for the tip. We took Luke into the doctor when Ruby had her kindergarten physical a couple of weeks ago. We told him that he was looking at two broken parents that we had waged the battle and Luke won. He explained to us that Luke was also using the bottle as his method of returning to sleep and that we were doing him a real disservice by not allowing him to teach himself how to go back to sleep. Which he said was only something you can self learn. So we moved Ruby's trundle bed into our room where it will remain for a few weeks until he learns. And for us we have kept a door shut and occasionally I use earplugs. And it seems to be working, I think. We'll see how it goes when we move Ruby back in, I've learned in the last couple of weeks that she's a sleep talker. We'll see how Luke does with that. And let me add that your girls are adorable. I can really see you and Chris in them both.
Congrats Susie on the relationship. Are you having so much fun? How's your health?
Keep us posted!
Danielle

I sent you the original instructions by email. I think Tracy knows how to make it so you can post under your name. For now, feel free to post under mine (everybody does it!)
