Night Log #2
This isn't working.
Jerry started the usual nighttime routine a little earlier (30 minutes) because Evan was so tired. Sadly, Evan cried throughout the whole routine, which is very unusual for him. He cried during dinner, cried during bath, and started screaming as we put his jammies on him. He seemed to dread sleep.

All day today he was extra clingy. He wouldn't even play with toys by himself. He freaked out whenever I left his side for a minute. Poor thing is worried I'll abandon him.

Jerry put him down at 7:30. He stayed asleep for a whopping 45 minutes. He then woke up at 8:15. I went in to pat him every 5, then 10, then 15, then 20 minutes, revisiting him every 20 minutes until he fell asleep 2 hours later at 10:10. That lasted another 45 miutes. I then comforted him every 20 minutes again... it is now 2:15 am, he is still wide awake and screaming with the same gusto he had earlier. No signs of sleep. This seems so unnatural to me.

I think this method is over.
