a sleeping partner

Brecken has been an awesome sleeper for the past week or so. Hasn't woken up in the night. I put him to bed about 8:30 last night and shut his door all the way so the cats couldn't get in there. Josh and I went to bed about 10:00 and had just fallen asleep and Brecken cried. He fell back asleep but then about 5 minutes later cried again, harder. I went into the hallway and noticed his door had opened somehow- I must not have latched it all the way. Charlie was in his room on the glider, and I looked in the pack and play (where he sleeps now- he hates his crib for some reason) and curled up right next to Brecken was Ditka! It was so cute. Brecken didn't think so though- he wasn't awake, but he was crying and holding his arm up like he was saying, "HEY! There's something here that's not supposed to be and it's yucky!!" So I got Ditka out of there, put both cats in the hallway, and Brecken fell right back asleep (even though he really wasn't awake to begin with.) Poor Ditka- he loves Brecken and Brecken usually loves Ditka right back, but I guess he doesn't love his kitty when he's trying to sleep!!!

Kara,
I would love to trim yours and Brecken's hair. I usually take my them just in case some one up there needs a trim.

If Brecken sleeps in pack n play at the babysitter he has probably has gotten use to sleeping in one and that is probably why he won't sleep in his crib. I had a baby that I watched that didn't like her crib at home either. So I started putting her in the crib here when Trevor wasn't in it and then she started using her crib at home. Just a thought.

He hasn't liked his crib ever. He never slept well in it. He moves around so much that he hits the rails and it wakes him up. In the pack and play, he doesn't hit anything hard. I had to take the bumper out of the crib too, because since the back is solid, I can't tie it to anything, and he'd roll under it, which would also wake him up.

Plus, daycare doesn't have a crib. Her son sleeps in a big boy bed. :) But thanks for the suggestion! He's been sleeping in his pack and play since he was 6 months old or so.
