Well, tonight we did it! She called out a few times and then kept making the kissy sounds. But settled down within two minutes! Faster then when I'm right there. So done deal. This is our new routine. Love's before she's in her sleeping cage like aways, then I leave the room. Lol

I'm glad you were able to shorten your routine a little. I think it's good to help them become more independent especially for the bedtime routine. I'm still struggling a little with it. But once he's in his sleeping cage then I only need to say goodnight, close the cover, switch off the lights and leave the room.

Yes, things are great now! She goes in her sleep cage by herself now. In fact, she will start heading to the back room with or without us when it's bedtime. Lol it's the only time she moves away from us. She then wakes us up with a gradually louder call in the morning. It's like having one of those alarm clocks that wake you up slowly. Lol
