A picture from yesterday - Rylen sleeping in his Boppy Seat....
Do things always look better in the morning? It is almost midnight and I am waiting for sleep to wash over me....Rylen has finally closed his eyes, but it required me draping him over my leg, so I don't see me actually nodding off any time soon. Matt doesn't understand my "mommy radar" (I know that isn't the right term, but forgive me, I haven't slept in a while), but there is no way I can sleep next to Rylen when he is awake - he fidgets and moves and dances and talks, and I am either entertained or at the ready to feed him....it is exhausting. So, Matt is asleep upstairs and I am sitting in the living room with a baby draped over my leg.
Maybe Ry doesn't get the fact that, as it is very dark outside, we sleep now. He is so fascinated with the world around him...and I am enabling him. I am willing to sleep with a light on so that he can entertain himself by looking at the wall. I am an enabler when I should be reinforcing habits that promote....something other than this. But, he is only six weeks old - so....and now his eyes are wide open again. Man.
