my son has been going through a
particularly trying time right now. He is only napping once a day now, and it is a
struggle to get him down, his night sleeping is fretful and restless and in short little intervals all night long....needless to say I'm incredibly sleep deprived with a little boy that is not only fussy and tired all day but he's really testing us right now to figure out his boundaries, he's teething some molars, and I think he is frustrated because he's not really talking
a lot yet; he has quite a
few words he know and even more he understands but he just can't always express what he wants which leads to fits on his side and lots of hair-pulling on mine ;) anyways I wanted to get out for a walk this evening to work of some of the many turkey dinners I indulged in this weekend (
gotta love thanksgiving for that) so I strapped my
ds into our
mei tai on my back and headed out for a brisk walk around the neighborhood with my mom and about half way through our walk he was
out. I managed to get home, get upstairs into his room, get him untied and off my back (with help from my mom) and into bed) all at 7:40 pm!!!!! WOW!!! that is
sooooo early for him. I'm hoping he has a good night and stays asleep for me. I'm thinking I may have to make this walk a nightly routine now. Not only will it be nice to get him in bed a little earlier it'll be nice for my waistline too ;)
