And He Sleeps

Saturday night, littlest C went to sleep in his crib for (basically) the first time in his 18 months of life. He cried for 15 minutes and then fell asleep. He woke up in the middle of the night. I didn't have a clock but I'm pretty sure he was up off and on for like 6 hours. It was a long dang time. I was tired. That night, Calvin asked if he could have his crib back. The answer: No.

Evening #2. He cried for 1 minute, 30 seconds. Woke up once in the middle of the night. I gave him a hug and put him back down, he went right back to sleep without crying.

Evening #3. No crying. Just sleep and peace.

I'm hoping the rest of our lives are like evening #3 but even if we have to do evening #2 some more, no problem at all. The boys are sharing a room because Calvin doesn't like to sleep in a room by himself. It makes me feel bad that he didn't sleep more with me when he was really little. But I let him crawl in with me if he wants to in the morning. I like it, he smells good, it works.
