we've been working on sleep the last few weeks. working hard. his patterns got messed up around the beginning of the year and then we bounced back and forth between two naps and one. then he stopped sleeping normally at night. so we've been working hard to get him comfortable at night with sleeping by himself. it's been tough, uncomfortable and not exactly the most restful sleep for mom and dad.

however. I think we're starting to reap the benefits.

this is what it looks like when a little boy falls asleep in his crib by himself.

by. himself.

feel like we might have turned a corner here.
