Sleepovers = Happy Parents!

12:07 PM

My new favorite event is SLEEPOVERS! and if we can't organize a sleep over then I'll take a late night visit too :) Little Chloe has been suffering from an upper respiratory infection the last week + making our previously defined schedule..undefined. As the whole family has been sick the 3 of us have spent many evenings hiding from everyone else's germs, while also trying to keep ours contained. After 5 days of this my mom was recovered enough from her bout of the winter sniffles and was finally able to relieve me for several hours of mommy duty. So - much to my delight I got the night off last night!  Wow - handing your baby to Granny knowing she'll be taken care of like a little gem so you can get a few hours of much needed R&R...no words. That's an emotion!  Makes you want to dance with relief...! And of course - my mom is the baby whisperer so little Chlo-worm pulled a 8 hour night with only a brief feeding at 3am. Gosh, if this little bubba did that all the time...


Since being sick Chloe has decided that day time napping in her crib is a NO GO. Perhaps she gets lonely...but either way she likes the idea of being attached to me. So the last 3 days she's been enjoying her moby sling and baby carrier ... for HOURS on end! She can pull a good 3 hour nap when she's in it. So needless to say I don't argue. Over the next few days though I can see we're going to have to break this little habit we've got ourselves in...but how can you say no to a sleeping angel? 


We're learning to overcome Chloe's "fussy period" which happens around 6pm every day. Jon normally gets the "calm-chloe" shift. Last night Jon and the boys worked as a team to conquer this task...
Team Work at it's best...
So with our newly learned skills acquired from my mom, the baby whisperer, we're going to try the new tricks and see if we can get Chloe to pull another night like we had last night. Settling a baby in for the night is an art...and don't get it wrong otherwise you'll spent HOURS undoing what 2 minutes created.
