For the past 3 months, O has been napping in his boppy (supervised), his rock and play, on the floor, in his swing and while snuggling with Mommy. But, alas. I've created bad sleeping habits. So, since he is turning 4 months old today. I've decided it's time to work on his sleep.
* As a side note. With my first born, I had NO IDEA how to get her to sleep.
She's a good sleeper now, but it's been a long road.
It just so happens, that O is a wonderful baby angel. He is the easiest and happiest baby I have ever met. Thank God. With his sister hitting the terrible 2's... I need at least one happy child. I can stare into his big baby eyes while E screams at me about how I am making her bread when she asked for toast. Sigh.
So, back to sleep training. So far, so good. I swaddled him (because he is one of those babies who has crazy arms), stuck his paci in, and plopped his booty in his crib. I tried singing.... but it made him giggle. I tried rocking him..... but it made him giggle. I tried holding him upright like I read that I should... but it made him barf. So, I went with sticking him in his crib and saying a quick prayer to the nap gods as I ran out the door.
Clearly, I have it together. Sounds super scientific, yes?
We will name it the "drop, pray and run." It's an ode to the good old, stop drop and roll.
No with my two under two napping in their rooms upstairs. What's a mama to do? Well, other than write a blog post.
Halloween costumes. A mama's work is never done.
Three dogs and a dog walker. Pictures to come later!
