a set of lungs

Adler did not want to go to bed last night. she would rather me hold her and sleep in my arms all night.  which was not happening.  I would love too but i need sleep too. so when i put her to bed she was not happy. she screamed, she cried, she pounded on the door and i gave in.  i held her till she was almost asleep then when i laid her down she woke up and the screaming and crying started all over again.  i again tried consoling her before i realized that nothing was going to help as she just wanted mommy to hold her forever.  so i let her cry it out.  it was  a good 45 minutes before she was 100% asleep and no longer whining.  it was horrible to hear breaks my heart.
