Good Morning!

Some mornings Alex wakes up before I am quite ready to get him out of bed.  I am running around trying to get breakfast ready for myself and Andrew and Carson.  Packing Andrew's lunch and making sure he has the necessary items for that particular day in his backpack.  Putting away dishes that were washed the night before but left on the counter to dry....  So Carson helps me out.  He loves to go into Alex's room, climb in his crib with him and play with him.  Sometimes I find them both laying down in the crib cuddling under a blanket.

Carson recently asked if he could start sleeping in Alex's crib with him.  I initially thought this was not a good idea (and still don't think it is a good idea) but I asked Carson if he would give Alex his pacifier during the night when he cries or hold him and rock him back to sleep.  Carson said he would.  I think he is hired!  However he won't be able to feed him.  Shucks.  

I probably shouldn't even mention this but finally Alex had a good night last night!  He went to bed around 7:45.  Oh, I am just recalling that the evening hours weren't his best...he woke several times and needed help going back to sleep.  I last fed him around 10, we did hear him fuss around 11 but he went back to sleep on his own.  He didn't wake again until 5:45.  I was able to sleep 6 hours straight!  It has sadly been way too long since that happened!  You would think a nearly 9 month old would do that every night!  I am not counting on him sleeping that well again tonight, just feel blessed that I was able to get some much needed uninterrupted sleep last night!
