Well, five months ago, if you told me this day would come, I'd be excited. Now that it finally happened, I'm sad :( J slept through the night in his crib. Yes, I said CRIB! Before meeting J, I always said, "I don't want a child to sleep in my bedroom." I especially did not want him in my bed. However, after meeting him, I loved having him sleep next to me in his bassinet. I especially loved having him lay next to me in my own bed. Sometimes, after Daddy left for work, I would put him in bed next to me and watch him sleep. Ok, not sometimes, it was all the time :o) I would lay there thinking that I was the luckiest person in the world.
I have friends that tell me their children still sleep in their bedrooms. (these children range in age from 1-5 years old) I used to think they are CRAZY, but now I completely understand it! I just keep telling myself that I am teaching him to have go
od sleep habits and to sleep in his own bedroom. After all, that crib wasn't cheap! We need to get some use out of it! As you can see by the pictures, it didn't bother him one bit to sleep in his crib. My little baby is growing up! Soon he'll be running off to Kindergarten and not looking back!

I purchased this book on Saturday out of pure exhaustion! My little man has been sleeping for 1 1/2 hours - 2 hours max and then waking up to nurse. Well, I read this book all day Saturday and followed the napping schedule with J. That night he went to bed around 8:45pm and slept until 5:45 am. He only woke up once at 1:11am and cried for about 7 minutes before falling back to sleep. It was hard not to go to him while he was crying, but I managed...well, ok, Hubby had to hold me down. The next night, he went to sleep at 9:00pm and slept straight through till 6:00am no middle of the night crying! He's been sleeping well ever since. He takes two naps during the day and goes to bed without fussing. During his wakeful periods, he is a happy baby who loves to play and hasn't turned into a Fussy Bear, yet! Yeah!!!! Mommy won the "Battle of the Sleepless Nights". It's about time I figure this whole parenting thing out! Let's see what my little guy throws at me next!
