He woke as soon as I entered the room. He doesn't wake when Adam enters and he's much louder than me!
We tried moving B to his own bed two months ago. Not pretty. I have no desire to try that again. It will happen, eventually.
I don't think that B is ready to wean either. I don't think that women who wean after a year are bad mothers, nor those who don't bed share. B sleeps much better with us, LJ post not withstanding. B is very independent and has no fear of strangers at all, weaning will have nothing to help with there.
I also firmly believe that you can't make any one sleep. You can assist them to calm down, you can create an environment that facilitates sleep - effectively teaching tools to help them put themselves to sleep - but you can't make any one sleep. If I had stuck B in a place all by himself that wouldn't have helped him to sleep, it would have only frightened him.

I *was* frustrated last night, and that's ok.
