From Quarterflash's debut album "Quarterflash" (1981):
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here.....
Tonight we began something very close to what many call the "Ferberization" of Dorothy. After putting her down to bed, we're letting her cry until she goes (back) to sleep. Here's the action so far:
7:10pm - I put Dorothy in crib, pat her, talk to her, give her a kiss, then walk out to the sounds of her starting to cry.
~7:40pm - Crying finally stops.
7:50pm - I go in to check on her. She's asleep, although she's managed to twist around most of the blankets etc. and move all over.
8:30pm - Crying begins again.
8:35pm - Crying stops.
~9:10pm - Elizabeth arrives home from work.
10:30pm - Crying (well, more of a low-level creaking & fussing to start with) begins again.
10:55pm - Still crying. I finish up work on the computer and head downstairs to a sleepless night. :-(
