Actually, come to think of it, I do believe that this is the only GOOD nap that Grayson has REALLY taken since 3 weeks of age. That's about the time the reflux started, which caused the crying, which caused me to bounce, sway, rock and try to figure out what was wrong with him. He's taken maybe 3 very short lived naps since then. Tonight, while I was making dinner, he was hanging out in the bouncy chair in the kitchen. He looked tired. I turned on the fan over the stove so if the pan from the chicken started to smoke it wouldn't smoke up the house. As soon as I turned the fan on, I looked over and noticed it was lulling him to sleep. After about 5 minutes, he was totally out! The exhaust fan is a super white noise maker! He did the startled arms up thing babies do when Claire screeched during dinner, but other than that, he slept right through. I was able to actually make and enjoy a meal without him crying or having to nurse him through dinner! YAY!!
I'm currently 28, and trying to figure out where I left my sanity amid toys, animal crackers and the occasional bumps to the head. I'm married to a video game junkie and we have three beautiful (and slightly hyper) children. We just moved from our tiny Wisconsin town to a slightly larger (not by much) town in Minnesota, where everything still closes at 5 or close to it. I'm a SAHM, but not the perfect kind. My kids aren't shuttled to 12 different activities every two hours, there are dishes in my sink and my house isn't always immaculate, but I try my hardest to keep my kids healthy, happy and loved and that's what it's really all about for me. I like getting crafty with my bad self (or trying to since I'm craft challenged), learning photography with my brand spanking new DSLR camera, saving money and being totally awesome.
