Last night he did really well!! He fell asleep after only 12 mins which was great. He woke up at 3:15 and nursed for 10 mins and fell asleep at 3:35. After that he didn't get up again until 7:30! He was such a happy little boy today....smiling and laughing and really engaged in what he was doing. As hard as this process is I am really really glad that we decided to do it. We still don't have the hang of naps yet but it's coming along. Today he slept for about 45 mins this morning while we were out running errands and then 35 mins in his crib in the afternoon. I cheated a bit later in the afternoon and cuddled with him on the couch and he slept...couldnt help myself :) Hopefully as we keep going with this process it will continue to get easier and easier.
Today was also a big deal because I made the decision to not go back to work. I am officially a stay at home mom! As much as I love education and I loved teaching, being home with him is the most challenging and rewarding thing I have ever done. I look at him and am amazed daily at how smart and beautiful he is. I feel so lucky to be his mother and I am fortunate enough to be able to be at home with him and watch him grow into a man.
