What?? Did that seriously just happen??!

I will write about work...but first...

OLIVER SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT LAST NIGHT!

Can you believe it??!? We can't!! We laid him down to sleep around 8:15 p.m. and he woke up at 5:40 a.m.!!! Oh happy day! We've been doing the sleep training thing where we console him if he fusses, but we try not to pick him up unless he cries. (We don't let him cry it out - not this young.) Anyways, I heard him wake up a couple of times last night, but he put himself right back to sleep!! I, unfortunately, was up from 1 a.m. on but that's because I was so worried/nervous/anxious about today.

And it wasn't that bad. But it wasn't that great either. It was work - it's a job. I love the residents and being able to care for them, but the main reason I'm there is because I need a paycheck and health insurance. I would much rather be with my baby. That being said, he had a great day at daycare, according to the daycare lady. He only had one fussy period in the morning (of course right when I call so I can hear him crying on the phone - absolutely broke my heart) and then otherwise had a great day. Even smiled and talked for her. Of course I'm happy he seems to be happy - but I want those smiles and coos for myself!!!

He's been in bed now for 45 minutes - let's pray tonight goes as well as last night! It's okay if it doesn't though. It's just like the first smile - that one smile held me over for days. This one night of sleep will be just the same.

TTFN!

p.s. TAMI EMAIL ME!! I wrote to you but it got returned to me!!
