amen

Well it seems like an earlier bedtime is working wonders for our little man. Winding him down to fall asleep 30 minutes earlier than usual - before Ethan's overtired - really helps him sleep longer. Eight whole hours last night! Horray! I'm also making sure that he gets his naps in every 2 hours or so - to help combat fatigue. And no jolly jumping right before bed - which we thought would wear him out but in fact probably just wired him up. So much to learn about parenting - I'll never know it all!

Today is going to be a quiet one while I aim to read the paper while he naps and more of this sleep book I've been devouring. Tonight Troy and I are having a dinner date - just at the pub because we're scrimping our moolah for a new roof which they're building in 2 short weeks - while E's Grandma babysits. It will be an early night as I want to get Ethan home by 7:30 so that we can start our going to bed routine on time. Consistence is key when trying to enforce these habits!

Tomorrow T leaves for a week on business. Boo hoo. :(
