So, Raymond has the sleeping through the night piece well figured out, but napping is another story. Often he will cry and require rocking and cuddling in order to calm down enough to nap.
That's no problem b/c I love the close time with him, but sometimes I have 100 things to do, so I sometimes put him in his swing. He used to love it, but lately he wasn't having it. Today, however, I gave it a whirl and he did well for a few minutes and started fussing...
Pacifier! Nope. Blanket! Nope.
What could help him? Teddy Bear? Yep. He grabbed that bear, snuggled with it and closed his eyes!! He found a "lovey" to help him sleep instead of his mommy! I'm both excited and sad...
Excited that he is growing just a little more independent and finding appropriate ways to cope with separations, but sad that he's growing up and is needing me a little less. But more happy than not. It was awesome to see his attachment to his teddy bear!
