Sleeping

Who would have thought that my life would revolve around sleep. or lack there of.

Most everyone who reads this blog knows that I have a seven month old son who is my pride and joy.  Some of you may not know that he is not the easiest kid to get to sleep.

When he was a few months old he used to be up all night screaming and the only thing that seemed to work was rocking him. And so we rocked and then I discovered that my exercise ball served the same purpose. So I bounced or rocked him to sleep.

I have thought many a time of trying a sleeping technique, but I don't have the heart to let him cry it out and so we continue on our path of rocking or doing what we can to help him sleep.

When he goes to sleep he sleeps well most nights 8 hours or so in a row.

Tonight, as I bounced him on the bouncy ball, the ball broke..... literally.

I ended up just walking and rocking him, and he is sleeping now, but I wonder how things are going to go the next few days.
