Life is like a Sandwich

The Bread:
Thursday Diego mastered what was once thought impossible and slept in his own crib DURING THE DAY! He managed two naps by himself (a.k.a. not carried or on my chest), one of 30 min and one of 50 min. During the longer of the two naps I finished a cloth diaper that I was sewing and did some long overdue personal grooming. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I actually had a need for the hither to unused baby monitor! Here's a picture to prove it.


The Middle Part:
This spectacularness was followed by a night of waking up every two hours, and one very cranky momma the next day. Cranky momma tried to put cranky baby down for a nap by himself so they could both nap, a miserable failure. It's like when the sequel is such a disappointment, made especially more disappointing because the first one was so good. Good thing my mom came to visit - distraction and help in the garden proved good therapy - for us both perhaps because...

The Bread Again:
Last night Mr. D. slept for a 5 hour chunk - he woke up rested and refreshed and allowed a repeat performance of two independent naps.

Who knew?
