Amazing

Luke went down for two naps today, pretty much on his own!  So again I say AMAZING!

I have an ultimate fighter when it comes to naps, screaming, kicking, throwing his pacifier.  And no, I'm not exaggerating.  This morning he cried a little and was squirming so I put him in his crib with his pacifier, rain on, and closed the door.  There was about 3-4 minutes of crying and then silence!  Success!

This afternoon, even better.  No rocking at all, just put him down, did the normal routine, shut the door.  After about 2 minutes of crying and another 6 or 7 of whining, it was all quiet.  This time I didn't believe it.  I'm not sure what I thought would be happening in there but I went in to check on him and he was out.  All hunched over in a little ball in the corner of his crib, but he was still breathing, sleeping, and I was ecstatic!

I'm not confident this will last but it was wonderful for today at least!

Luke must have partied hardy yesterday and was totally exhausted!!
Maybe the cream puff filling made him sleepy :-)
I'm glad he cooperated on your day off to give you some mommy only time!
Yeah, Luke !!!!
