After telling my friends how putting Jaden to bed was getting easier, he started skipping his afternoon naps! Which in turn caused him to wake up at 2 am for the last 3 mornings and stay awake for about and hour and a half!
But this morning we set a new record! This morning was 2:30 am to 5:00 am! I had the 2:30 to 4:30 shift then John came in looking for me! Didn't have to tell me twice to go to bed! Jaden has been a regular cranky britches this week because of lack of sleep and teething! Today was better though. He had a Dr. appt this morning to check on a bug bite that was getting a little scary, so he didn't get a morning nap. He passed out when we got home around 1:00 and slept for an hour and a half....this is great after only napping for 45 minutes total on Wednesday! But at bedtime I was able to put him in his crib sleepy but awake and he soothed himself to sleep! He kept peeking at me to make sure I was still standing next to his crib but finally gave in to sleep. What a breakthrough! He's never done this! Maybe it was the 1/8 tsp of Benadryl (less than the recommended dose mind you) I gave him at dinner for his bite??? Nah! It was my most awesome parenting skills! Yeah....that's it!
My friends all tell me that their kids nap times are all screwed up too! Just a "transitional" phase they go through at 1 year. Well....Mr. Man has been testing the limits with John & I...seeing what he can get away with and how far he can push us before getting a time out. But it's hard to get frustrated with him! Look how cute he is! I think he uses this to his advantage.
Jaden's new hooded towel......too cute!
Our house in the Woodlands is coming along quickly. Sheet rock is going up inside and the rooms are taking shape! Can't wait!
