No Crying !?!?!

I have been working on establishing a morning nap for Nathaniel for about a month now and this was the first morning we had no crying what-so-ever! After being up for an 1.5-2 hours I've been putting him down in his crib, turning on the music and giving him a pacifier. He typically cries through the first 5 songs and then finally agrees that he is tired. I've always waited in the room by his bedside till he falls asleep so I can re-insert his pacifier if it falls out. On Tuesday this week he was fussing and I thought maybe I should just let him fuss and if he takes the pacifier out oh well. There was about 12 minutes of crying and then he put himself to sleep. Wednesday I tried the same routine and it took 7 minutes of crying before he put himself to sleep. Today... about 5 mintues of wiggling around but no crying. Do I get another Mommy Merit Badge? If this can be done in the morning I wonder about bedtime??? I might save that battle for another day when we are feeling better (we've had a cold all week and it just won't go away).
