Sleeping solo

A week and a half ago, I decided that as Cooper was sleeping on his own (instead of needing to be on me) a bit better during the day, I would start trying to put him in his own bed on Friday nights.  (Jason is usually home on Saturday, so I don't mind waking him to take over if I'm getting super tired.)

The first Friday was so-so, but this last Friday was fantastic!!  Quick settles after feeds and straight back into his own bed!  He slept on his own the whole night!!  I knew not to expect that this would be the norm now, but since we had so much success on Friday, I thought I might even try it again last night.

I toodled off to bed at 10pm, with Cooper asleep on Jase in front of the telly.  It was about 1am before they came in, and that was about when my sleep ended too.  Cooper was in the mood to play!!  He wasn't loud and grizzly, as long as the lamp was on low and I was paying him a little attention here and there.

2am - ok, kid, that's enough, time to go to sleep.
2:30 - really, Mummy is almost falling asleep... why don't you do the same?
3am - come ON!  Enough already!!  Lines from the book read by Noni Hazlehurst, 'Go the f@#! to sleep', are running through my head.
3:30 - sooking starting... at last, I think you're getting tired!!!  Time to wake up Dad and get him to put you to sleep on his chest!  Stuff your own bed, I don't care where you sleep for the rest of tonight, as long as I can go to sleep!

Maybe next Friday...
