I tried to get baby LP to sleep on her own using the cry-it-out method. After 10 minutes or so, the crying became this series of get-me-NOW-Motherfucker rage screams. And then? She went quiet.

lol..we had no such luck with D...she went on for an hour and we were done with that method. But D put on a show when folks were around - this girl knows the importance of making first good impressions!! :P she never put herself to bed till like 5yo. ha ha..but get a babysitter, she'd get offended and would take herself to bed!!

Da Babies' mom and I tried to guilt LP about leaving her infant sister all by herself to creep in her parents' bed. Baby Midget gave Zero Fucks about sleeping on her own
