For the first time ever (other than one fluke at four months) Alex spent the entire night in his room and in his own crib. He woke up, but instead of bringing him to bed I put him back to sleep and put him back in his crib. I must admit, it was a little weird to wake up in bed without that smiling face next to me. But it was also more restful than having him keep me up with his flailing from 4 am til 7am, which had become the norm lately. So this is a trend I am hoping to continue. Family cuddle time will just have to commence AFTER 7 am, and frankly, I am just fine with that!
