Woosy Mom!

So we tried the whole sleep training thing...and I even recommended it to a friend who says it works great for her! Her son goes right down at 7pm, doesn't fuss and wakes up at 8am every morning. I did it for a while and it worked great, but now...

He fights when it is time to get in the crib at 8pm, he wakes up three times a night and demands for me to pick him up and he is up at 6:30 every morning!

I think what we lack is consistency. Hubby never puts him down in the crib, but rather lies with him on the bed. When we nap during the day, it is also on the bed! I need to get it together b/c he will never sleep a full night on his own without needing me at some point. And he will never be ready for the transition to his own room which should have happened MONTHS ago! Of course Hubby thinks we should keep him in the room b/c he may fall out of the crib, he may get scared alone...and of course now my wheels are turning and I think to myself "well, he is only this young once and I won't get it back so maybe I should enjoy every moment of having his arms wrapped around my neck and little breath in my face while he sleeps"

is that crazy??
