Go To Sleep!

Around 8pm we give the boys their last bottles and then put them to sleep. Its not hard; they're usually quite tired and go down easily in our arms.

The idea is that we then walk upstairs and put them in their crib for the night. Well last night Lukas decided he wasn't ready to go down because as soon as he laid in the crib he would wake up and thrash. Now I left him to see if he would settle down but he was just getting more agitated so I went back, picked him up, and went to the rocking chair.

Shhhhhhhh.... soon he was back in slumberland. I waited another 5-10 minutes to let him get into a deep sleep, then I got up. No stirring. I stood in front of the crib. No stirring. Then I put him down. Stirring, stirring! Belly rubs.... no go! He's in wake up mode! AH CRAP!

We went back downstairs where the noise and lights lulled him into a deep sleep in my arms on the couch.
