a good day...here's hoping for a good night.

stetson still has a cold but he had a much better day today...other than the fact that he woke up a bit prematurely at 4:30am this morning b/c he had turned over...and it took me half an hour to get him calmed down and back to sleep...after which i couldn't go back to sleep...so i reckon you could say the day started a bit rough considering i had a hard time falling asleep last night---last time i looked at the clock it was 1:30am (james is out-of-town)---and now i've been up since 4:30am...i think i get a bit anxious and have a hard time sleeping when i know i have to get up, get myself ready for work, get stetson up, fed, and dressed and have him at heather's by 8am...(thankfully this only has to happen 2 days per month...all the other days i work james is home with him)...so he did finally go back to sleep at 5:05am and slept until i woke him up at 7:30am...we got to heather's on time...he was happy and had a good day with her...(let me just say what a HUGE blessing to be able to leave him with someone you know is going to love him and enjoy him almost as much as i do)...when i got there to pick him up at 5pm (with possibly the worst headache i've ever had), he was still taking a nap so heather and i chatted until he woke up...he had his bottle there and then we drove home, he took a bath (one of his most favorite things), and went right to bed at 7:15pm with no fussing...what a precious, sweet boy...now if only our nights could get back on track...he's had a hard time sleeping for his usual 12 hours since he got sick...but here's hoping since i'm freaking exhausted and daddy won't be home 'til monday night...either way, i can't wait to see that little smiling face again.

Luke would always sleep better in his car seat when he had a cold. I'd just either leave him in there if he was asleep when we got home from somewhere or move him once he was asleep. Don't know if Stetson would go for that or not, but it worked for us for stuffy noses....with Eli, on the other hand, it was a definite no go.
