Couper WAS a good sleeper until this week when we started trying to get him to sleep in his crib, in the other room. Now our nights look something like this:
Put the Coupster to bed. Go downstairs for some mom and dad time. Hear Couper on monitor. Argue about how long to wait and see if he stops crying. Wait somewhere between 23 seconds (Amber) and 5 minutes (me.) Listen to Amber talk about how it has been 5 minutes (even though I watched the clock and it has only been 23 seconds.) Go upstairs. Hold Couper Douper. Couper sleeps. Put Couper down. Couper wakes up immediately. Pick Couper up again. Wonder what is happening on Heroes and Monday night football. Couper falls asleep. Put him back down. Walk downstairs. Get to the last step only to hear Couper WAIL again. Go back up. Bring Couper down. Watch Heroes while Couper falls asleep on my chest. Take Couper back up an hour later and place him in the crib. Come downstairs and blog about it.
WOWSERS. $10 says he wakes up within 15 minutes.
I am not complaining. Just sharing. I always tell Couper “I can go ALL night buddy so you might as well just give in.” It’s true. I guess this is all just part of being a parent…and I LOVE it!
Its the last day that it will be open today.
