We had a wonderful, fantastic, amazing time in Australia and I'll blog about the trip w/ pictures this weekend (if the stars align...)
Trying to figure out what to do with Baby J at the moment with regard to the zzzzzz's.
He seems to be all about the "A's" as in "AWAKE" zzzzzz's, not so much.
Tried to get him to nap on his own today. Holy hell. I expected some tears, some of the famous temper, but i didn't expect a 4 hour combat that left me feeling like I was in the trenches somewhere along the western front circa 1916.
I have rested my battle weary bones down next to my (lightly snoozing) darling baby. finally nursed him on the play mat in the living room, with pacifier and his friend monkey. The four hours of crying, playing, laughing, whining, starting, grizzling and smiling tuckered him out and he drifted away blissfully....only to start himself awake 5 minutes later.
Now I'm sitting next to him and rub his back with a friendly "shhhh" every time he does it, 2X over last 20 minutes.
Sigh. My parenting powers are feeling a bit depleted. I am rather disappointed in myself. Hoping i will regain my jedi powers for a happy ending...
