small victories as a mom

He loves to "read" books and the paper.
So, if I have talked to you in the last few months, I'm sure you are aware of my lack of sleep. We moved the end of April and our little buggy has been sleeping with us in our bed pretty much since. And that we tried to get him back in his crib for 2 weeks with little to no results. Leading us back to square one. He is back in bed with us again. So....why am I titling this "small victories"?? Because Peter has never been much of a napper, however he has started taking 2 hour naps in the am and about 1 1/2 hour naps in the pm. On me, which means I am trapped reading or watching bad daytime TV. HOWEVER: as I update our much needed updating blog, he is in his crib- asleep! no fuss, he fell asleep in the car and transferred to the crib, while only waking momentarily. So....small victory for mom today!
He has grown so much and is such an active little boy. I know my prayers will be answered and that he will learn to sleep on his own again. For such a great night time sleeper he was, I had never envisioned that we would be where we are now.
We have had to sadly say good bye to our cat of 5 years. She is very sweet and sociable; so if you or someone you know would be interested in getting a cat of your own, she's at the humane society in Wauwatosa, WI. Her name is Astraia, she's 7 and you can see pics. of her at wihumane.org Unfortunately she wasn't a fan of our move and Peter becoming more of a priority. Jealousy is her middle name, although she was not violent in anyway. Just was letting us know that she wasn't happy anymore with us splitting our time & attention for her.
