So Wednesday night (day 3) was so bad that I was too exhausted to write about it the next day. Jane screamed in her bed for almost 40, Mars and I went in twice, and in a very no non-sense way, we let her know that we were sorry she was having a tough night, but that she was fine, and should snuggle up with her blanket, and go to sleep. The interesting thing is that she never really was screaming or asking for a passie, she seemed to completely get that a pacifier was not an option.
Finally after nearly an hour she got quite, and seemed to go to sleep around 9:45pm. The bad part was that she woke up around 5:15 that morning, and was then completely up! She was cranky and Mars and I were even crankier.
But that must have been a turning point because Thursday, Friday, and all through the weekend it has been fine. No crying before bed, and sleeping all the way through till 6:30am or so.
I feel nervous saying it, but... success, success, success. Thank you Dr. Holden, thank you Martin and Pareen, and thank you to all the mom's who gave us advice on how to get this done.
Now what do we do about Macy? No passies for her at all, stop sooner, arg! There is always something.

Be glad that she ever took a pacifier. Ben was the only one of our four. The rest of them just cried all the time. Caroline would only suck on Beth's pinky. There should be a law about driving and pacifying at the same time. Super tricky.
