The Peanut Chronicles

mission accomplished

Woohoo!!! I am proud and really happy to say that the Peanut has slept through the night!!! The whole night!! He went to bed at about 1130 last night after his last nighttime bottle and then woke up at 6!!

What is the big deal about this? Aside from the Bear and I sleeping through the night?

HE SLEPT IN HIS CRADLE!!!!

FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!!

Not in the swing, not in the chair, in the cradle. Why the sudden determination to have the nut sleep in his crib? We are going home this weekend!!! We are heading back home to Scarlet Wood for a few days to visit friends, realities, and other nutty people and of course show off the baby. But we can’t take swing or the chair with us and sleeping in his car seat is a little much for three whole days and so… the crib training began last night. (It didn’t help that Bear got a “baby center” bulletin that stated all the reasons why you shouldn’t have your child sleep in the carriers or swings).

After the initial screaming, well, he was fine. He cried himself out in about 10 minutes and was out like a lamp. It was amazing.

The morning he was rewarded with a new game by Daddy. Daddy decided that Nut could help fold the laundry. Guess what? The laundry monster game was invented.

HE LOVES IT.

I hope he keeps up the same passion for his crib as he did for his laundry.
