sleeping through the night: 8pm - 7am
9/23, 9/24, 9/25

for all you haters, let me explain...
this child takes after his father - clearly. i can't take credit for this, he is as cool as a cucumber. he rolls with the punches and is always good.
he has not been a good sleeper until now - never falling asleep when there was even the slighted bit of distraction. he isn't one of those babies that will fall alseep in his high chair or in the middle of a party, etc. he hasn't napped at daycare since i started taking him there (until this week when i thought to bring his blanket with him) - now he is napping for 2 hours. let me qualify that by telling you that I've had to write a letter to Sylvia's social worker asking her for permission to let Sylvia put him to nap up in her bedroom where it is dark and quiet - i hope i don't get her shut down!
he has really turned a corner in the past few weeks with his sleep and i need to document this. he falls asleep on his own, sometimes he doesn't even need to nurse to sleep. and he will nap on the weekends on schedule.
and yes, i will be sure to document it when he starts waking up 3 times a night again (probably when he learns to walk).
finally - (for emily) i have not only not slept an entire night (except the one night i was away on a work trip) since he was born, i haven't slept an entire night since i was pregnant because you have to get up to pee so much. So yes, i am happy! and i am glad you are all happy for me.
Now - lets all think about what an amazing person Elizabeth is for doing it twice!
keep reading my blog because i tell you about all the naughty things Cash does (because i am sure that is going to be where he takes after me!)
