Parenting award for the day goes to...


Joe!

Henry has been a little adverse to sleeping on his own. Today was a big day, Henry got his first bath and I don't think he disliked it as much as it took him out of his familiar routine of sleeping, eating, getting changed and trying to figure out the blurry images surrounding him. After his bath he ate then was seriously ready for a nap. On the changing table he let us know that he had had it! Joe immediately went into action! He put a new diaper on in record time, grabbed the swaddle and popped in a pacifier and carefully place a rolled receiving blanket to touch the top of his head (he won't fall asleep without something touching his head). Henry didn't even know what happened before his eyes rolled back and he conked out. Joe put him down in the co-sleeper and Viola! Success! A multi-hour nap alone... leaving mom and dad to BBQ dinner and eat together. Such a treat. I have eaten alone several times this week already, so it was nice!
