5 minutes of noseblood

On Friday we tested the infamous 5min method, which is a way of making your kid fall asleep on its own. In short, you put it to bed and leave the room. No matter what, you must not enter until 5 minutes has passed.
The problem is, that our kid thought we were going to abandon her. 5 min is almost forever for her in a semi-dark room. The comfort of us always responding to a real cry was yanked away from her. Needless to say, we gave it less than one try, as we were both on the verge of crying.
We don't have that big problems with putting her to bed, it rarely takes more than 5 min anyway. Are we too soft parents perhaps?

Then tonight, it was payback time. She poked me in (yes, in) the nose so my nose started bleeding. A new experience, I think for both of us.

In three weeks, I will be staying at home with Klara for almost 6 months, my paternity leave. Wonder what it will be like. Probably lots of fun, but also quite strange not going to work every day.
