Remember when we couldn't wake him up for anything?






All of the sudden Seth think he needs to be on a sleeping schedule. He wakes up around 7:30 in the morning, is dying for a nap and 9 and noon, and then wants to go down for the night around 6:30. Yes, it's nice, but I always thought I'd try for a less rigid sleeper this time around. I always had Emma in her bed and sleeping at sleeping times, but I wanted Seth to sleep in different places and different times. But, it's not meant to be.

The other thing that's not meant to be is me rocking my babies to sleep. Up until yesterday, I could give him his binky and snuggle him up and he'd zonk right out. But, he won't take his binky, and he just fusses and arches his back until I lay him down. Then, presto, after just a bit of protest crying, he's sleeping. Kay, I know it sounds really nice, but Emma never wanted me to rock her either, and I kind of thought that since they are 100% genetically different, I might get a child that would let me rock him to sleep. But, alas, no.

So, all in all, he's sleeping great, he wants to do it on his own, and he doesn't need his binky anymore. And yes, it makes me sad. I don't want him to grow up.
