Ethan has decided to give up naps. Perhaps its for some great cause but his mother is not convinced. Poor little guy will be all red and puffy eyed, but still refuse to sleep more than 10 minutes or so. Melanie, his sitter, told me that when her first baby went through a phase like that she called the doctor because she was sure her little girl's back was hurting, so that is my new joke :)
Awesomely enough though, he's not been terribly cranky and he's sleeping at night just wonderfully. Last night I got brave and moved him into his bassinet about midnight after I let him nurse to sleep. He woke up, but must have gone back to sleep because the next thing I knew it was almost 5 am and Ethan was just starting to stir. Hooray. I certainly don't mind having him in the bed, but I sleep a little better when he's not, and Darrell definitely does - he worries a lot that he's going to roll over and hurt the baby.
Let's see if naps make a come-back. I'm hoping they do - not because I don't want to hang out with my little guy though. Sometimes when he sleeps too long I actually start to miss him! I've started putting him in the sling so I can get a little done around the house. It limits what I can do somewhat, but last night I got most of the laundry put away. Seriously, that's a big accomplishment!
