Hand Holding and Sleep Updates

You have always loved holding our hands but lately you will not even think about going to sleep without them! When we put you down to sleep you immediately grab our hands as if to say "I'm sleepy but don't leave me!" Your dad and I have to wait until you have gone to sleep and then slowly pull our hands out from under yours without waking you up. You really aren't much of a napper because you don't want to miss anything! You want us to be right there playing with you. While this is very endearing, you do need your sleep and so do Mommy and Daddy!


Your Grandmommy has always said that I needed to put a fresh egg in one of your socks and nail it above your bedroom door and this will help you sleep through the night. Supposedly, when you are teething it will cut the pain in half. I thought this sounded crazy at first, but last Friday I figured I would give it a shot. You slept until 7:30 a.m.! I couldn't believe it! We also gave you a big container of apple sauce which you LOVED so that could have helped you sleep also. Whatever it was, your dad and I have enjoyed a few restful nights. When you wake up in the morning early, I must admit I love putting you in our bed and cuddling with you until I have to get up. Just wait until at least 5:00 am okay?

I love apple sauce!

This was you at 5:00 this morning
