Well it is about time that I give credit where credit is due…
Thank you Owens Blankly, thank you for putting my little man to sleep EVERY night, thank you for diligently taking 2 naps a day with him, thank you for comforting him when hurt, or quieting him when upset, for traveling with us everywhere we go, & for taking a beating in the wash several times a week. You have made our job as parents MUCH easier.
From just a few weeks old I have been able to put Owen, wide-awake, in his crib with his “KIKI” and he could put himself to sleep. A couple of weeks back we converted Owens crib into a big boy bed, tear. I was terrified wondering what our active independent little guy could conjure up in the middle of the night, or worse wake us up;) I didn’t want to jinx us so I have waited to announce that it has been a very successful transition. We do our nightly routine and then he crawls up into bed, with his “KiKi” and we don’t see him again until we get him out in the morning. I do wonder what sort-a attachment problems we may have to face as he grows up. I really don’t want him dragging it college, on his mission, and then accompanying him and his wife to sleep each night, I guess we will have to cross that bridge when we get there. So far so good I am not complaining yet (only when we don’t have the kiki around)!
