Sleep Update

Emerson is still sleeping, what I consider, through the night. For the past 4 nights she has slept anywhere from 6 to 7 1/2 hours. For the past two nights she has done this in HER bed instead of the cradle in our room. She does wake up from the long siestas at about 5:30 or 6am, so I feed her and then usually put her back down in the cradle until we're ready to get up or until she forces the issue. So things are going pretty smoothly on that front....

but based on inspiration from my friends Julie & Wendy, I think I'm going to start weaning Jackson from his beloved papi. Ugh! I'm not excited about this, but I'm hoping it will only take a week, just in time for his school to start back. He is UBER attached so I know this is going to be interesting. I'm afraid I'll just be exchanging lack of sleep with one child for that of another, but we'll see. He has become very attached to his blanket recently and his stuffed puppy & elephant, so maybe with all of that he will not need the papi. Wish us luck!
