Tough love.

My little kitten is learning to put himself to sleep.  And by "learning," I mean he's being very vocal about how much he does not want to put himself to sleep.  We're keeping with pretty much the same routine, there was a very fun, very sudsy bath.  We read some stories, we had a snuggle and a bedtime bottle and I put him down in his crib not quite all the way asleep.

You'd think he was being tortured up there.

The thing is, we're going to be adios-ing the bedtime bottle pretty quickly since he's good with the sippy cups and can handle the milk, so it's about time to start learning that bedtime means: hop into bed, time to close the eye-holes, head off to dream-land and snooze until about 7:30 am (on a good morning).  But, Lord, old habits die hard, don't they?
