Tristan's nap

Both Tristan and Aidan were going to bed between 2 and 3 am every night. We became frustrated with it and decided that Tristan was going to bed a little earlier...no matter what. Last Wednesday (April 23), we decided that while we were at it we were going to wean Tristan off the bottle. We put Tristan to bed without his bottle and let him cry himself to sleep. About an hour later we were able to have our first night's sleep that started before two in a long time. He now goes to bed regularly between 9 and 10 every night, and he hasn't had the bottle since!! Saturday he had missed his nap and during supper he couldn't stay awake any more. As you can see in the video, it was very difficult to wake him up.
