Wow...more than a 15 minute nap? No way!

LBB is peacefully sleeping right now.

Big deal, you say?

Oh, it is a big deal. :)

See, as of late, LBB has had a huge problem with sleeping. He doesn't want to do it. He takes 15 minute naps, stays awake for 3 hours, turns into a royal fussbucket, then sneaks in another 15 minute nap. So, you would think he'd sleep the night through, right?

Wrong.

Lately he's been waking up at least two times a night. Why, I don't know. Apparently he thinks Dear Sweet Hubby and I lead a very eventful life, when in reality, all we'd like to do is rest our heads on our nice fluffly pillows! :)

But today...ah, today.

Today seemed like it was going in the same direction that the past five days have gone. He woke up, albeit after a night with only one wake up in the middle, which I can totally handle. Then, he played. Ate. Played. Ate some more. Had some bananas and cereal. Then a little more bottle. And bam. He fell asleep in my arms...until, I moved.

Then he was awake and ready to go. 10 minutes, I thought? But I have so much mommy stuff to get done. Like unpacking. And grocery lists. And cleaning. All of which LBB seems to have little concern for. :)

But, I persevered. I put him in his crib with his mobile on. He lasted 5 minutes before he screamed bloody murder. I put him on the floor to roll and watch me while I did my grocery list. He started fussing within 10 minutes. I put him in his chair. Walked around with him, and then finally, sat on the couch, snuggled up (I had given in, I know) and within one minute he was sound asleep. So, there he slept (securely, I might add. I had my eye on my rolly little guy.) And slept.

It has to have been TWO hours! And he is just now waking up...

But I've got to say, this is the nicest gift he could have given me pre-Mother's Day!

Well, I'm off to cuddle LBB a little. Have a great day!!!
