For weeks big H went through his stage. He would cry and cry and cry. . .and cry before finally falling asleep for afternoon nap time. And I'd just let him. I'd turn on some fans and put the cooler on high when it would start to get on my nerves, but it never bothered me so much that I had to go in and do something about it.
Now big H goes down peacefully for his naps- for the most part.
Now little H is going through the phase. He usually exemplifies phases -for better or for worse- when compared to his brother. And boy does he exemplify this one. He screams and screams and screams and screams. . .and screams some more. Then you go put the binky in, hoping that he's worn out enough to fall asleep, and he just screams and screams and screams some more.
I don't know if my patience is worn because I've already gone through this phase with his brother, or if little H's determination is too much for me to handle. I find my nerves standing on edge, and I finally go in there and rock the naughty little boy to sleep.
I hope I can survive this so the little H can go down for naps like his brother does now.

ReplyDeletelol, you're so cute. I love the line that talks about you turning on the cooler & fans to drowned out your crying sons cries.
ReplyDeletethat's so adorable that you finally give in & rock the 'naughty' boy to sleep. I would certainly have my patience tested with 2 babies.
I know I say this a lot, but you are such a great mommy.
It's hard to feel happy after they won't be quiet!!! but I like to look at it a different way: He just wants to be in your arms.. and he's willing to scream all those loud noises to get his way & be snuggled by the most important person in the world to him... you!
