DS has always been a pretty good sleeper. But the past few days have been some of our toughest. In fact, DH told me that I was being "stern" with our beloved yesterday which broke my heart. I know that I was frustrated because he wasn't happy anywhere for about 4 hours yesterday but I was still trying to be loving. I guess from an outside point of view, though, it might have been stern. Oh well - I am his mother so he should probably get used to it. :) I just believe in honesty so as DH was walking in the door, M and I were having a chat - he in his bouncy seat and me on the floor facing him. I was just explaining to him that he was tired and that he needed to rest a bit so that we could play. I told him that it didn't matter to me where he slept or with whom/what so long as he got some much-needed rest. I was being matter of fact - loving but direct. He was watching me intently so I figured he was getting it. Looking back, I am sure it was a ridiculous scene, me talking to our almost-4-month-old as though he was 24. :)
And, once again the waking from nap is occurring so I must go and soothe him....until later. :)
