Night two of “sleep training” (a term I picked up from all the very sweet sleep advice emails from local moms on a Yahoo group I belong to) went pretty well. Quite a few wake ups and crying fits, but they were much, much shorter in length and severity (or am I getting desensitized?) and Ryder put himself back to sleep each time with little to no soothing from a parent (sidenote: Marc joined me in the bedroom last night and did ample duty of soothing and even engineered an early morning diaper change. go dad).
Examination of gums this morning shows two little white specks I presume to be teeth cutting through. Layer on the stuffy nose and watery eyes, PLUS Elvira (nanny) said Ryder is doing some serious army crawls across the floor. It’s no wonder he’s not sleeping well! There’s a lot of changes in his little world!
