aw sleep stuff...

I hope I don't jinx anything... but I just have to update because I know I've complained abuot sleep plenty....

In the last month or so, I've gotten Cooper to fall asleep in his own bed, without me in there, he sleeps through the night (although that means only 8.5-10 hours a night, but whatever), and I've weaned him completely!   He must have been ready for all of it because the final transitions were super easy when I finally did them.  OH, and, biggest news is that Steve has been able to put him down for a nap and for bedtime without me and without any fuss.  So that's a HUGE change from a month ago when Cooper wouldn't even go in his room with Steve when I was out with friends!  

I know, it's ridiculous.  Cooper is 21 months old.  But FINALLY we are somewhere close to "normal".   Now if I can just get brave and find a babysitter and also see if I can drop him at the gym daycare place.  Then we will really be living the dream.  :)

    That's awesome! I'm so happy for you! And thanks for giving me hope that someday it might happen for our little nightmare sleeper too! :-)

    YesYes

    I still can't leave Gavin at the gym daycare or at the church nursery.  Evie magically outgrew her separation anxiety at age 2.  I'm hoping that in another month, Gavin will be ok with it!  It would be a dream come true if I could work out whenever I wanted and go to church without having to entertain a rowdy toddler.

    Yeah, I dont' think we left Ben with a babysitter other than my mom or maybe my aunt until over 2.  And it was over 2 before I tried to drop him off anywhere...  Cooper suddenly seems a little less of a freak about me leaving - we left him this week with my mom, and I've been able to leave him with one of my friends a few times without him caring at all.  So I'm crossing my fingers that we can at least *try* to do the gym and/or a sitter at our house.   I also have a groupon for Adventure Kids and I still don't know if there's any way I can make that work.  I should probably just try to sell it and see if anyone wants it.

    Yeah for sleep!!!!! I also have never had a sitter other than grandparents and finally cancelled my gym membership because Ella is almost 18 months and Ive gone twice since she's been born... Both times I was too scared to take her to the daycare. Good luck!!!! It really does sound like the American dream! :)

    This is my dream too! Baby steps right?! But doesn't that little bit of normal feel awesome!

    Go check it out, you might be surprised.  You can watch from outside and if it's a nightmare, you can pick him back up.  Try it for short periods like target or the grocery store first, but he might be just fine there!

    It is not ridiculous. I could have written this myself, and Max was older before we could just put him in his bed and leave. This is awesome! Way to go mama and Cooper!
