well dang

Dd just fell asleep on her own in her crib. That's pretty much a double whammy. Usually I need to rock her, and it's me and only me she wants at bedtime. But tonight like magic, she just did it. She was laying on my bed while I finished up a few things and I noticed her beginning to doze off so I moved her to the crib. And now she's out.

But now I really miss my night time cuddles! I had long day at work (its just a temporary two week thing so I'm not used to being away) and was practically glued to her when I got home. I would have happily snuggled my little thing to sleep. She's needing me less and less! (I was noting how she doesn't cry so much for dh anymore earlier when we were eating). I know this is only one night, and her habits and schedule have been all over the place lately but it's still an accomplishment.

No point to this post really. I'm just happy sad. Its not even a humblebrag bevause i truly like rocking her each night. Im just trying to look at it from the perspective that so far I've cared for and nurtured her well enough to grow and mature and start becoming her own little independent person.

Well, that is until the emotional damage starts emerging from all the cosleeping.

    It is a weird, bitter sweet experience to go from lo being 100% dependent upon you for everything at every second to gaining tiny steps toward independence.

    We aren't there yet. Maybe I'll miss that when we are, but now it'd be nice if she didn't think I was the only place to take a nap.

    I taught DH how to get Auli to sleep in teh rocking chair.  Part of me is a little sad that it's no longer just me who has the magic touch. :(

    I know exactly how you feel. Every day it seems they are different. My lil one fell asleep on her own in the crib since 8.30 and only now i kinda sorta maybe decided she was hungry when she was fussing. Truth is she's been waking herself up but then soothing herself throughout (a first for us) and she'd probably do that now but I just had to pick her up. Plus she just inhaled 5 ozs so maybe i was right?
