The Peanut Gallerie

I have recently read multiple articles about babies at 23 weeks (or around that age) and the parents who have them. The common theme at this stage is 'bedtime'. It goes over ways to cope with lack of sleep or how you should begin putting your baby to bed while they are still awake but sleepy.

At risk of jinxing myself, I gave a little chuckle.

James has been sleeping through the night for months. It's as if he understands how important sleep is to the both of us. (Or the little guy is just nice enough to give his single mom a break.) Our bedtime routine consists of reading 'The Hungry Caterpillar', occasionally a little formula and putting the little bear in his crib (with socks on his hands because it gets so cold at night). He usually falls asleep around 10pm (within minutes of putting him down).

He is such a wonderful little guy.

Don't get me wrong. He does have random nights every blue moon where I hold him to quiet him down and get him to bed, but even then, there is still no crying ... just a fussy little bear rubbing his tired little eyes.

Oh James, you make it so easy to cuddle and love you (... but since you're like me, I understand, you enjoy your space sometimes :o)

My only worry is for the next kid who may cry in their crib or stay up all night. I'm not even going to know what to do with them...
