I've created a MONSTER...

So back when Brady was about six months old he started to wake up in the middle of the night for no apart reason. When Nevaeh was over to prevent him from waking her up (since at that time they were sharing a room) I would go in and get him and put him ion bed with Blake and I...BIG MISTAKE. Slowing but shirley he would not go to sleep in his own bed, this has been going on for about 7 months now. I can't say that I wasn't warned. So last night I decided that I was going to put my foot down and put him in his crib and let him cry for as long as it took. Well I thought this was going to work, but I now know that I have a huge challenge ahead of me. The child stood in his bed with his arms lying at the top of the rails for and hour and cried. We then realized that he was falling asleep standing up resting his head on his arms. He would sleep for about 5 minutes and then wake-up. Finally Blake decided that once he was "asleep" he would go in and lie him down. He ended up staying in their with him for about 10 minutes rubbing his belly until he was good and asleep. Now it is almost 10 o'clock. I'm thinking to myself...all that had to of worn him out he will sleep pretty well, that wasn't too bad after all. Well that little fantasy of mine only lasted for a hour and a half. At 11:30 he was awake almost screaming... I lied their for a few minutes to see if he woukld calm back down and go back to sleep. After about 5 minutes that almost stream was a full fledged scream...something had to be done. I went in, and everytime I had him back asleep and would start to walk away the eyes would open he would stand up and the cycle would start over again. This went on for a half an hour. At this point BLake who is obviously awake now has had enough and yell at me to give up. Brady won once again. Off to Mommy and Daddy's bed he goes. I don't know what to do...
