routines

we have established some daily routines now that cole is older. night time is one of my favorite times with cole. he takes his evening nap between 6pm - 7pm. after his nap cole nurses and then we play for a little while with his jumperoo and kickin' gym. next we go into the kitchen to listen to music and cole eats his cereal. cole and i then go upstairs to play on his play mat and then he's ready to nurse again. i then put cole in his pjs which he loves. he always laughs and smiles when its time to get undressed and into his pjs. i don't know why but he loves this time! cole and i then sit in the glider and rock while we read several stories. then we discuss what will happen the next day and give goodnight kisses. i then lay him in his crib and turn the lights out. cole now will talk to himself for several minutes before he falls asleep on his own. YES, i said ON HIS OWN!! he has also slept 10 hours straight the past 3 nights! the sleep training we have done with him has worked out great for him and me! this is before bedtime...
