With Mai about to need work-time type sleep, we did some 'sleep training' with Ruby the past few days. Rented a super house -- full wall of windows looking over hills and a lake -- and let her soothe herself to sleep. This is not easy to do, but Ruby showed progress very quickly. Sometimes it takes two hours of crying to get oneself to sleep, she needed 30 on the first night. And that's fallen to, most times, two to four minutes. We're proud.
Meanwhile we drove around the area along the Delaware River -- gorgeous area. At a diner in Narrowsburg, Dorene the waitress carried her around on a tour of the place. We walked across the bridge -- in eagle country -- to Pennsylvania, and tribute grandma Reid's birthplace, and take some photos of Ruby in her fourth state (after NY, NJ and Oklahoma).
On the way back we stopped off on a New Jersey road. A cop came by and asked what was wrong, just as Ruby was mid-way through a particularly dirty diaper changing. He didn't stick around long.
