Growing up so fast, she is.

     Maggie is sleeping in her own bed in her own room and has been since Saturday night. Lisa is getting much better rest at night. That is all a good thing.

     It was really wierd at first, and if we were both honest I think we’d say that Saturday and Sunday nights we didn’t sleep all that soundly. But, Lisa more than I, we did get more sleep than we have been getting. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that sweet, beautiful baby girl is a grunter. All the time she grunts. And it is for that reason we decided to make the move to letting her start sleeping in her room rather than in her cradle in ours. With only a week left at home for Lisa when we made the switch, we wanted to make sure everyone was acclimated to the new setup and I must say it has been great.

     There are a few hurdles to overcome, the biggest just being her sleeping longer through the night because it’s when she is only partially awake that she makes noises. Otherwise the girl sleeps like me – like a stone. The other is the fact that, like most babies I hear talked about, she doesn’t like the process of going to sleep. The child cannot stand to miss anything. Even when she’s awake, if she’s not positioned to where she can see a lot of what’s going on it gets ugly. But we’re all growing through this in different ways and as we grow, though the process isn’t always easy, I’ve found that it’s often better for everyone in the end.
