Mother’s guilt has struck again. Noah and I visited childcare early this week and I felt horrible about having to go back to work BUT... this is not for 6mths so I’m not thinking about it just yet. At childcare though, they asked about Noah’s sleep routine, of which he has none. Don’t get me wrong, he sleeps but he doesn’t sleep at particular times for particular amount of time after doing any particular trick to get him down. So I decided that for his sake so he transitions into childcare next year he should start having one time in the day that when he’s showing that he’s tired, he goes down in his bassinette and falls asleep by himself (I sit with him but don’t do anything). Today was the first day of this and while I know it’s good for him and he’s actually fine, it hurt. It hurt physically – can hormones really do that? Anyway, it didn’t last long before he was sleeping soundly and I’m sure it’ll get much easier!
On another note, Noah is so close to rolling from his back to his front. I’m sure it’ll happen within the week. He also has a lump on his bottom gum that I’m sure will sprout a tooth in the near future. I found him the other day holding his rattle, but neither Andrew or I had handed it to him so he is now finding and picking up toys on his own. Last but definitely not least... he loves loves loves his jolly jumper. The first time we used it the sound of his feet hitting the tiles melted my heart – that is of course once my heart had started beating again from the shock of him doing something so independent and potentially dangerous :)
Aww he looks like a little frog in his jolly jumper!! so cute!
