mommy and daddy have a “disagreement”
I tried really hard to be mad at Marc this morning…
We had a disagreement argument OK it was a fight about the kid’s sleeping arrangement last night. We have been transitioning him from the warm, cozy, vibrating chair (a crutch that we relied on way too long), with swaddle-wrapped-kid to -eventually- the cold, hard, empty crib with kid all alone to fend for himself. I had a brilliant 15-step plan to help our little angel transition, but, Marc upon seeing the sleep sack I bought, thought it was too cute to wait and decided to skip ahead and throw Harrison to the wolves - the cold, hard, empty crib… all alone to fend for himself.
To be fair, Harrison did way better than I had expected. But, he woke at 2:30, 5:45 and finally at 7 making for a not-ideal night of sleep for any of us. I didn’t want to say “I told you so” - I wanted Marc to admit defeat and apologize. As I tried to hold a grudge, Marc walked in with Harrison, all smiles, cooing like the little angel-doll-baby he is and I couldn’t be mad at anything in the world. When something that effing cute is staring back at you with adoring eyes - piddly crap just doesn’t matter.

keep with it. wise words from my cousin of 4 kids, “you can teach them anything in 4 days, give them 4 days” it worked when we had to “sleep train” owen.
I hear that - and totally agree. we also just switched his bedtime from 10pm to 8pm… and it totally helped - the kid sleeps longer now!
