I love summertime Fridays. Today was a perfect example of a great day. In the morning I got up and took the van in to have the oil changed at 7:30am. Oscar and Lauren were still sleeping. I got home and fed Oscar his breakfast. It was such a nice day; we took a drive up to Carleton Place to do some shopping. On the way home, we stopped in Kanata and had some lunch. Once we got home, Oscar had his lunch and then relaxed for a bit before it was time for the Jolly Jumper. He had a great time in the JJ and then it was time for a nap. While he was napping, I got a chance to cut both lawns. When he woke up, Oscar and I went for a nice walk to the post office to get the mail and then back home the long way. Once home, Oscar had his dinner and relaxed a little before we went for a drive to pick up our car at the dealership. Back home, it was almost bedtime and we had to sort out some of his clothes that were getting too small for him. That done, Lauren fed him and put him down, 5 minutes later he is awake and crying. I went upstairs to rock him, but he would have none of that. and so we decided to try what we did for his naps when he first started those - I rocked him for another 5 or so minutes till he was calm and I laid him in his crib and left, let him cry it out, and give him 30 minutes. If he is still crying, at that point Lauren will feed him again. It's been 10 minutes so far and he is still crying. I know he has to learn to self-sooth but at the same time I just want to run upstairs, wrap him in my arms and tell him it's okay, Daddy is here and it's going to be alright. Well, at the 10 minute mark he won and Lauren has gone up to feed him and hopefully that will settle him. FINGERS CROSSED.
SUCCESS He went to sleep.
