Sleeping all night, knock on wood...

We finally have a little guy sleeping through the night. Once he got used to not having the bink or bottle at night it just ended up going hand in hand with it. I am knocking on wood, but we are so glad he is sleeping through the night. We haven't had the most consistent sleeping boy. Ever since he was born it has been a roller coaster to get "T" to sleep through the night. He would go through such awesome spurts of sleeping and we would finally start getting used to it and then over night it would change to waking up numerous times at night. I know some of it has to do with growing and with feeding, but it is hard as a parent when you read other blogs or Facebook posts of parents with kids similar to your kids age and they have a little one sleeping all night. it gets a little frustrating. I know you are not supposed to compare to other people, but it is just human nature to do so. Maybe I am the only one who does this, but I have a feeling that lots of parents do the same thing.

I don't know if I mentioned in a prior post, but with "T" being in a toddler bed, it made things a little harder to get him to sleep through the night. When we originally put him in the toddler bed he was still using the binky so he would go right to sleep at night, but yet he would still wake up throughout the night and knock on his door or cry until we went in there. Once we eliminated the binky, it was hard to get him to even lay in bed at night because he knew he could just get up and walk around. Luckily it didn't take "too" long for him to adapt to the binky/bottle being gone, but it still made things hard with being in a toddler bed. I think if we are able to have any more kids, I would try and remove the binky/bottle prior to the toddler bed being introduced just to make it all a little smoother.

Anyiways, we are loving the sleeping all night for all three of us. It makes the Mr. have a more pleasant work day and it makes me a bit more productive during the day. "T" still is on a one nap schedule, but with him sleeping through the night, we are a lot happier and can do a lot more together in the mornings since now he takes a later nap in the day.
