Parenting Milestone!

OK, so we're nowhere near the "binky removal" stage, but by god, we're done with the *$%@# white-noise machine. We realized that monster (we had the worst model ever) was more of a crutch for us than useful for Jackson, so we've been going without for about 10 days now, and we've had no problems at all at either naps or bedtime. For a long time, turning on the white-noise machine was our version of "It's bedtime and that's final," but lo and behold, the kid sleeps just fine without it. Progress!
