Shelley: Day 44

A pretty good today. Busy, but really fun. Mr. Will and I went swimming with Katie, Kaisi and some of our other friends. Will usually takes a nap at noon and as that was when we met up Will was SUPER DUPER exhausted by the time we headed home at two. Literally, the second I sat him in the car seat he passed out. When we got home I put him in his crib and he slept for THREE HOURS. I really wish I'd known he was going to sleep that long because I would have snagged a nap too.

I recently nixed any bottles in the middle of the night and that has changed how long he is awake when he wakes in the middle of the night (yeah, I know it stinks my 1yr old is still waking up multiple times a night). He used to be awake for about 15 minutes but since I have been denying the bottle he has been up for two to three hours. But it's all part of the plan. We needed to kibosh the night feedings so we could do CIO (cry it out) which we did last night. It took him about 10 minutes to finally snuggle up to his teddy bear and pass out but he was up for a few hours before that. Tonight, no more cuddles, only CIO. I know it's what's best for him so I'm just going to have to shut off my inner push over and set limits to be a good parent.

After his nap Will and I made a quick trip to Costco, fortunately, there were no samples today. After we got home Jason gave me a little break and took Will to the park to wear him out and picked up din din at Subway on the way home. Cross you fingers for me tonight I get a bit more sleep. . .
