Sleep

Owen naps a lot. It’s usually an hour awake, an hour asleep… alllll day long until he goes down for the night around 8.  If I time it just right he will sleep for an hour while he’s in his car seat and I’m running errands. He’s such a happy little thing and when he’s tired I know right away. It’s worth my time to stop what I’m doing and make sure he can fall asleep when he wants to. Otherwise he stays awake, gets upset, and it’s so much harder to get him to sleep after that. He usually naps in his swing, or I rock him, or I nurse him to sleep up in my bed. The other day he was so tired and I just didn’t have the time to lay down by him and the swing wasn’t working. His eyes were getting red and heavy and I knew I had to think of some way to get him asleep. I put him in his car seat and swayed it around for a few minutes and he went right to sleep. Whatever works, am I right? :)
