So, while Nonna and Pappa where here, you started to refuse to sleep in your crib. Finally, mamae got in with you and you laid down and eventually fell sleep.
Seems its my turn to stay with you now. Sometimes you ask for mamae, but usually you ask for me to go into the crib with you.
Its tough to sneak out w/o you waking up.

Tonight, you actually pointed to the crib to go to sleep.
You were laying on my chest, and after a fairly short while, you decided it would be nicer to sleep in your crib, so you sat up and pointed and I got up and laid you down. You looked up at me (laying on your side), I said boa noti, and you laid in your usual sleeping position (on your stomach) and closed your eyes. I was shocked! and very happy.
Today you climbed up all of the stairs by yourself. I walked behind you to make sure you were safe, but you got all the way to the top without any help from me.
so, in prep for mom’s trip, I put you to bed, yesterday and today.
yesterday was a little rough, but tonight was pretty smooth. you were crying as I put on your pjs, and when I closed the blinds, etc. I sat down in the chair and you were crying and pointing at the door, but you stopped, looked at me and laid on my shoulder. I stayed for 2-3 songs and put you in your crib. you didn’t even cry, just laid down and went to sleep. you didn’t even grab a animal to hug.
Tonight, was the first time in a LONG time you fell asleep with me.
Granted, you were super tired from all of the zoo activities.
I walked with you on the San Antonio river walk while people finished their dinner and you actually fell asleep on my shoulder while I held you in my arms.
I was even able to put you into the carseat with very little complaints and drove all the way home.
(Going to bed was quite difficult though).
Today, I decided to get up early (when you woke up at 7am) and go to work early (arrived at 8:30-ish) so I could come home early (4pm) and play with you (we played and played till 6pm when I fed you dinner).
The goal is to disassociate me with going to bed because you used to cry when I got home around your dinner time because you anticipated I would be giving you a bath right before putting you to bed (though, mom is the one who really puts you to bed. since you just cry for me).
Today, I decided to wear pants *gasp* and shoes *gasp* for the first time…probably since May.
When I got home, you pointed at my shoes and touched them, wondering where my feet/toes were.
Similar to last night, you woke up around 11:50pm, make a little bit of noise for a couple minutes and slept until you made tiny noises at 6:30 and we came into your room.
Waking up that early caused you to need a nap pretty early.
