Vivienne, An Auntie

 

Not going to lie, I had no idea what to blog about today, so here's how being an auntie is going for me today. The only way the kiddo will nap for me these days is if I hold him til he conks out. If I try to put him in his crib, the world ends! But he's very cuddly. When he stayed over last week, he was in my room, and since I went to bed late, I was very careful to be quiet, but my mistake was in trying to put the blankie on him so he wasn't too cold. -_- Cut to awake and sleepy = grouchy baby. I ended up holding him, trying to put him down more than once, but sleepy bean refused, so I stuck him in my bed, and made sure he didn't fall off. 

Over an hour later, finally able to put him in his crib! And then there's today. Today, he was obviously sleepy, but refused to sleep in his crib. I wrap him up in a blankie and then proceed to realize my mistake. When he falls asleep...I'm stuck. I move and the kiddo wakes up. As evidenced by my attempt an hour later. So it's back to holding him and watching random things on my phone. 

Much later, I find a way to carefully wiggle free, and woo! I did it! Kid's asleep, on the couch, and I propped up some pillows in case he started to roll off....and oh look he's already rolling toward the edge. I scooch over and put my arm up to keep him from falling and he rolls CLOSER and makes himself comfy and adorable and awkward...Oh well. I ended up managing to scooch him onto the couch and just sat in front of the couch myself. Stuck again, but you know. Whatever works. ^_^
