I believe I have already started a terrible habit with Little Mr. He LOVES to sleep in his Grandmother's arms. Worse yet (well it is not worse for me, I love it) anyway, worse yet, He loves to sleep With me. I can hear some of you saying UGHH RHONDA! I say back off people! hee hee It doesn't happen all of the time and I am very careful and most of you know that I don't sleep much at night anyway so I spend the majority of the time awake, watching him, singing to him, and just talking to him. Sometimes while he sleeps I just watch him. It's like that Aerosmith song: "Don't wanna close my eyes cause I don't wanna miss a thing" I will lay on my right side and he will be on his left side in my arm directly against my chest and belly. I then can pat his little bottom with my right hand and in his little world, ALL IS WELL. He loves it. If he gets fussy and won't settle down that is all we have to do. It is precious, he is precious and I feel so blessed.
BUT the down side to it all. I AM GETTING NO SLEEP! ha ha If I hear Leah up with him, I will hurry out of bed no matter how sleepy or tired and ask if I can take him. I tell her it is so she can get some rest, so that she can be ready for him later on when he wakes again, BUT....... well I think you (and she) already know the real reason I listen for him to be awake. I think for fun, I am going to show you a couple of pictures of Old Grandmother looking sleep deprived. Enjoy!
OK Grandma you have to get some sleep too. Oh and the sleeping in bed with you thing it is a horrible habit to start...but sometimes you just can't help it. Isabelle still comes in our bed just about every other night sometimes that is the only way that everyone gets to sleep. So you got to do what you got to do!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know what Jodie, you are right but I do it cause he is so dang sweet! I am probably causing him NOT to sleep in his bed. lol Don't worry about Izzie, Lindsay was not a good sleeper and no matter what we did she ended up in our bed. It didn't last long. I think she stopped climbing in there during the middle of the night when she was about 12! ha ha
