I have to see some improvement each day to keep me going. Even if it's just a small thing... 10 min of no crying, not crawling to the door today, ate a few pieces... something! And I have never had someone cling to me.

I have a bit of a different approach I think. I spend the first few days sitting on the playroom floor with the kids, but I don't really force the interaction. I just let them move around on their own. If they decide they want to sit at the front door and cry for 2 hours then I let them. They eventually stop and they learn much quicker that crying doesn't get them the desired response around here.

Did I mention this new little one sleeps for 3 hours too? Not a tear when she goes in her crib. Woo Hoo! Somebody pinch me!
