2.4

So we got the plan from the sleep consult*nt and I am so happy with it! It's very gradual and involves slowly weaning him of his feeds and slowly reducing our "involvement" in his sleep, so to speak. So it will take a while but I think it will work for our family. I am feeling so much better about my ability to follow-through and the trade-offs that it involves (i.e. him not in the bed anymore.) If it works, I'll be a very happy mama. We are on vacation, so we'll start when we get home, but right now I'm feeling really good about it.

Right now I am trying to enjoy my last 2.4 weeks of mat leave (but who's counting??) I was sitting next to a woman on the ferry the other day who has a very tiny baby - with those spidery fingers sort of aimlessly clawing at its face, and the tiny little ears and the wobbly head and furrowed brow and sleepy exaggerrated yawns. It looked so miniature, like a doll that they advertise in magazines, but just beautiful. I can't believe it was almost a year since LM was that tiny and fragile and dependent. And I can't believe it's already been almost a year!
