So proud of my little guy!

So I did a modified version of crying it out with Wyatt a few days ago. And niw, I can put him to bed and he'll go to sleep on his own. What I did was, when he was fussing in bed, I would let him fuss. But I would pick him up when he would cry for a little while. A few times he let out a cry but stopped and went to sleep.  I'm not comfortable with letting him just wail until he sleeps. Not my cup of tea. If it works for other parents, and they're comfortable with it, cool! There's so many different ways to sleep train an infant. I kind of let Wyatt find his bed time and luckily his bed time is at 7 pm. Then I have quite a few hours to do whatever!

I have actually started showering at night and get myself ready for the next day. Today I did my make up! It's been long overdue for this momma. I haven't waxed my eyebrows since Wyatt was born, finally got it done over the weekend. I also have these foam rollers too and I tried it out on Saturday after my shower. On Sunday morning, I took the rollers out and at first it looked like my hair was too curley. Ran my fingers through it a few times and it turned out great. Did that again last night and I had a lot of compliments today! So having those hours after Wyatt goes to bed is a much needed mommy time :-)

Crazy Friday... Worried mom...

So, today was crazy.  Some crazy person(s) were running around the streets today and ended up just a few miles away from home AND Wyatt's daycare.  Needless to say, yes, I was a worried...  extremely worried mommy!  I called the daycare as soon as I got off work to find out if there were any streets near that area that were blocked off.  Luckily, none of the streets near the place were blocked off.  But on the way home, I had to take a few detours.  After buckling Wyatt in, I always manually lock his door side and I tend to forget to lock my side.  So as soon as I got in, I hit the lock 3 time..  OCD thing I have...  The last hour of work I was thinking how I'd rather be with my lil guy and safe at home where I know I can protect us and Mr. T always barks at people who walks by the apartment if he doesn't recognize the footsteps.  Yeah... he's THAT good!  haha!!!

Wyatt now has a bedtime and I already started a sleeping schedule...  He was doing great going to bed by 7pm on his own.  When daycare started, it got all messed up.  So now that everything has settled down, I started him back up again in getting into a sleeping schedule.  It requires a little bit of him whinning (once he starts crying and won't calm down after a bit, I'll tend to him).  Within a few minutes, he goes to sleep on his own.  I feel more comfortable doing it this way and at his current age than when I was told to do it when he was younger.  To me (and what pediatricians have told me), a baby cries for a reason.  And I'll "spoil" him until he gets to an age where he understands what right and wrong is.

Well, it's time for this momma to go to bed...  Goodnight all!
