Lest you think that sleep training is easy...

I am currently staring at my baby monitor.  Staring at the image of my daughter, who has been crying on and off for 15 minutes or so.  I am confused.  Should I go into her room to get her, or do I continue to let her cry it out?

My husband put her down for a nap after she yawned a few times.  That was 45 minutes ago.  She proceeded to play quietly by herself for half an hour.  Usually, after a few yawns, we put her down, she plays and calms herself down, and then she's out in 15 minutes or less.  Today, she played for half an hour.  And then started crying.  In 15 more minutes, it'll be time for her next feed.

I'm so confused.  Should I just go get her?  She seems to almost drift off, and then wakes herself up and cries.  GAAAAAH.

I wish I had the Baby Whisperer here.  She would know what to do.
