After I put Marshall to bed tonight, I thought about what a wonderful little sleeper he is and always has been.
He slept for 8 hours straight when he was only weeks old, then completely thru the night (10-11 hrs) when he was just a couple months old!
And I have never once put him in his bed when he was already asleep!
I have a vivid memory of being so exhausted in that first week home with him.
It was about 8 o'clock at night and he seemed wide awake.
I couldn't hold my head up any longer,
so I lay him down in his cradle and I lay down beside him in my bed.
As I lay there watching him and reveling in the glory of having a new life in our family,
he quietly and preciously drifted off to sleep all on his own!
I couldn't believe it.
And he has done so every day since then.
Naps included!
How did I get so lucky?
I have no idea,
but I thank you my precious son for this amazing tender mercy!
Love you so...
Honey, he got that from you! You were in love with your bed and mobile. Your crib was in our room, and your little jibber jabber would put me to sleep after I fed and changed your diaper @ 2:00-3:00am. It was the best! xoxoxo!!!
