Transition

This past week has been really difficult for me. Last Monday I decided to let Reed start taking his naps in his pack-n-play because he is starting to outgrow his swing. He would sleep, but for only 30 to 45 min. at a time. Which anyone who is a parent knows that that is not long enough for a 5 month old baby. So for a week I had to take care of a very winy and tired baby. And to make matters worse, just when I thought I was going to get a break, Graham ended up having to go to a conference on Fri. and Sat. so I was all by myself this weekend. But I think we have had a breakthrough because on Sun. I decicded to try laying him in his crib for his nap time and both times he slept for at least an hour and a half and on Mon. he did good as well. Hopefully this will stick so I can start getting some housework done. Oh yeah! To all those single mothers out there, I praise you because I got a taste of what it would be like to be a single mother this weekend and it was pretty difficult.

I think taht whenever that perfect son of yours is whinny it is because he misses his Grandma from Cape Cod. Just tell him that she will be back soon and he will calm right down!
