Here are the tired parents in the early days of bringing home the baby. She sleeps through most ofthe night. Even though we try to get her on her way to bed around 8 o'clock, it usually doesn't "take" on the first attempt. I feed her, change her diaper, and then lay her in the bassinet next to our bed. Stealthily, I sneak out of the room congratulating myself on how easily she went down. BUT---pretty soon, usually sooner than later, a small huffing and snorting begins on the baby monitor, and before you know it, I find myself in the earshot of a full-fledged fuss! And so the process begins all over again...
