adventures with baby

I am pretty sure that Thomas naps like a champ for his babysitter.  She has him on a great routine, and he sleeps 1 1/2  or 2 hours every day.  

On the weekends, however, we still run into trouble.  It doesn’t help any that we tend to be a lazy bunch on the weekends.  We might not leave the house until late in the afternoon. Also, this weekend Thomas has had a little cold.  Friday night was Rosh Hashana, and we were at my brother in law’s house.  We put Thomas down around 7:45 in his pack and play.  He was quiet for a while, then cried and wouldn’t go to sleep.  So, we packed up and drove home.  He fell asleep in the car, and stayed asleep when I put him in his crib.  He probably lost about an hour of sleep.

On Saturday morning, he slept in until 7:00!  That was fantastic.  He went down at 11:00 for a nap, and slept for 2 1/2 hours.  Even more fantastic!  I even took a nap.  That night, though, he wouldn’t go to sleep.  I have to blame the cold for part of it, but I also think it’s the weekend/ non-routine.  He finally went to sleep around 8:30 or 9:00, and slept until 7am again.  

I’m writing this on Sunday evening.  Today has been a bit rough.  Thomas would not go down for a nap this morning. I tried, really.  He cried and cried and wouldn’t go to sleep.  We even had the humidifier on.  I gave up and fed him lunch at 12:30.  Around 1pm he finally went down for his nap.  He took another 2 1/2 hour nap!  I am hoping that he’ll go to sleep like a good boy tonight.  Momma has to get ready for the work week.
