Nap Time!

Steven still sleeps in the mini-crib and Hannah in the Bonner Bed (co-sleeper) in our room, but for the past day or two I've laid Hannah down in Steven's crib while working on sorting their clothes and she's taken one of her naps there. Today she fell asleep there and after lunch it was time for Steven's nap. He didn't realize she was in there, but I asked which bed he'd like to nap in and he chose the toddler bed. I laid with him and we read a couple books, then I sat on the floor (on the large red pillow) and patted his back until he fell asleep. It was fairly quickly, I was pleasantly surprised. (I did have to gently discipline him a number of times for talking and getting up from laying down.) He slept for 1 1/2 hours. Hannah woke after Steven had been asleep for about a half hour, but I was able to get her before she was able to disturb him. It was a fun first time to have him sleep in his toddler bed.

I think we'll try that for naps for awhile until he will stay in his bed and go to sleep without me staying in there - then we'll have him sleep there at night, too. By then, hopefully Hannah will be ready for the crib. She had one night of going 9 1/2 hours between feedings - I had to wake her to get ready for church - and the next night was 11 hours - I had to wake her because I needed her to eat :) . Now, she's back to about 4 hours stretches. Oh, well, soon enough. :)
