This afternoon Grandma came over so that I could head out for a couple of hours of Christmas shopping. I quickly kissed the boys goodbye and jumped in the car before realizing how EASY THAT WAS!!!! No detailed lists of sleep aids, no anxiety over whether he would go down for a nap or not, no worry about how my Mom would put Koen down for a nap without having to leave Bodhi downstairs alone for hours on end. Koen's sleeping has definitely changed my life - as in, it's given me the semblance of one. I have all this TIME all of a sudden and I don't dread the very moments when I have to attempt nap or bedtime. I am able to enjoy rocking with Koen, reading him stories, singing him songs, and then quietly kissing him goodnight as he drifts off to sleep. Aaaaaaah. I am overjoyed that the sleep training has worked so beautifully up to this point. He's falling asleep easily and waking up happy. Now if we could only convince his big brother to sleep past 4am!
