Westly is
growing up really fast this summer. He’s taller, has more hair, is
communicating more than ever, climbing all over the place…
…And his
most recent development: he is learning to fall asleep by himself in his crib.
The past few weeks I’ve been gradually transitioning him from falling asleep in
my arms to falling asleep in his crib. Now after he nurses, he points to his
crib and when I ask if he wants to go night-night in his bed, he nods his head
‘yes’.
Today he did
this for his nap, a first. I still have to stand next to him until he gets
sleepy, but we’re making great progress. The goal is for him to fall asleep
with me out of the room.
I’m sure
this transition will lead to weaning soon. I get a little sad thinking about
weaning, but I know it’s all a part of growing up.
Which makes
me think I need to have at least one more baby...
…but not
right now. Right now I’m going to relish the freedom I’m gaining with Westly’s
growing independence.
And I’m
going to finish writing my children’s mystery series.
