Success!



After finding several excuses to delay trying to put Donovan down for naps, we finally attempted to put him down yesterday (Sunday). Guess what, it was a success! Well sort of. We got him to go down twice yesterday and once today, each time for about 20-30 minutes. He needs his binky in to get himself to sleep and we wrap him up because we tried without it and he would fall asleep, then apparently feel as if he was falling because he would throw his arms out and wake himself up and inevitably spit out his binky, which would contribute to the waking up as well. We need to get to a point where we can get him to sleep without the binky because whenever it falls out, and it always does, he wakes up which accounts for the short naps he is taking in the crib, because in our arms he will sleep for much longer. It is a work in progress and right now I will take anything. 20 minutes is long enough for me to get some stuff done without him in my arms so it is nice.
