Could it be that easy?

No...

So many of you know that Carter has been sleeping exclusivly in his swing. He just doens't like the pack&play or his crib. He likes to swing and his car seat. God figure, my mom said I was the same way. (He might not look a lot like me, but he is a lot like me....)

He got shots a couple days ago, so I was just going to let him sleep whereever for a day, so could get rest if he wans't feeling well.

But last night, since Chris was home early and off on Sat I knew it would be a good night to try to get him to sleep in the pack& play in our room. We didn't get home till 9 from a friends house, I thought he would sleep in the car, but he was wide awake. So we gave him a bath, fed him, and did the night time thing, then I rocked him a little, to get him droopy eyed. I told Chris here we go.....attempt #1.

I placed him in the pack&play, I heard a few squirmy noises, then NOTHING....It was just that simple. He slept better, and longer in there, I only woke up at 1 and 5 to feed him, and I put him right back in there, and he fell right asleep. He didn't wake up every 2 hours.

I thought great, now he knows where he sleeeps, let's do his nap in there.

Nope, I lost that battle. After 1.5 hours of screaming every time I held him over the pack&play I gave up, just becuase he needs a nap, at night I would have kept going, but I don't want to overtire him, or he won't sleep tonight. We are going to get black out shades today, I think that might have to do with it. In the swing he can look around at the room, but he can't see anything in the pack&play.

We'll get there, one step at a time. At least we are both better rested from last night, so tonight we can try it again, and pray it goes just as well. One step closer to a full nights sleep and moving him to his own room. I want him to be as prepared as I can make him.
