Sleeping

Dear Kate,

Overall, you are a 9 out of 10 sleeper.  You always have been since you were a baby.  You go to bed perfectly, you sleep all night in your bed, blah blah blah.  But the second I mention that to someone, it's like the sleep gods say "Don't get to cocky momma" and then lay a big doozie on me.  We went through about 2 or so rough sleep weeks with you that ultimately resulted in holding the door shut while you screamed for hours.  All that to say, you are back on track (FOR THE MOST PART!!!!) and I will not complain, nor brag about your sleeping habits :)

I will, however, document the randomness of that 2 weeks of, well, non sleeping...

We could not find you one night on the monitor.  But all I had to do was look in the ridiculously messy playroom where a random umbrella was set up...

 At one point you became obsessed with things to take to bed that included a towel, a baby doll and your pillow and blanket.  That pillow (3 months later) still is on the must have list.

 A few nights required me holding you.  A lot.  so much my back hurt so I had to just lay on the ground.  But not in the bed.  You would not have that.

 And then just when I thought I was in the clear, I wasn't, so I had to rock you to sleep.  Let me just say, I never had to do this with you, even as a baby.  So not cool, Kate.  So not cool!

And then there was the naptime that I panicked.  Your sister did it to me once and was under her bed.  You were in the tent.  Of course, I didn't know that until I searched everywhere else, including the neighbors pool!  

Like I said, we're back to normal.  Back to 9 out of 10.  A night here or there that throws me off course, tests me a little, but not enough to complain!
Love you little sleeping bug!
