The Cry it out method

Why don’t babies want to sleep?  I mean I would kill for an extra 1 to 5 hours of sleep a day.  I am typing this as the Z man is just refusing to take his nap in his crib.  I am trying to be the bad guy here and insist that he needs to cry this thing out and get used to going to bed on his own.  I don’t get why he just won’t fall asleep!  He get’s very close and then BAM!  right back with the loud crying. 

I feel horrible letting him do this, but he is getting worse with his sleeping and I don’t see another way. 

I have read so many things on Infant sleeping that my eyes are starting to bleed.  WAIT.. HE just got quiet for 10 seconds and maybe… NOPE!  Right back to the loud crying.

Do my neighbors think we are beating him?  Do they think we are mean parents (well just me) for letting him do this?  I just want my boy to sleep in his crib and for his loving caring parents to get some sleep at night.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I am open to them.

He has been going at it for an hour now!  Arrrgggg!!

I need a drink!
