Here Comes the Sun

Here are some good things that happened today.
  1. I found frozen organic mango chunks at HEB and Henry thinks chewing on them is fabulous for his sore toofies.
  2. Henry fell asleep in his crib at naptime for the first time in so long. There was a bit of crying but not nearly like it used to be.
  3. That nap lasted 2.5 hours with no intervention from me. (His typical nap lasts 30-45 minutes and then I try to rock him back to sleep to extend it a bit.)
  4. I got to take a nice nap this afternoon (see #3).
I am making a conscious effort to accentuate the positive because I don't want Henry to grow up with a negative whiny mom. However, lately that's been harder and harder to do because I've just been worn out. Henry's five month sleep disturbance has been going on for two months now and Husband has been traveling every week for the past couple of months. But Husband is taking off all next week and Henry seems to be sleeping a bit better so I finally see some light at the end of this long tunnel. It's nice for Husband to ask me about my day and for me to honestly be able to say, "It was good!"
