Sleep

Since having Elliott I have become obsessed with sleep. When can we get it, how much of it is the baby getting. Is he sleeping in the right place at the right time. Are we setting him up with bad "sleep associations"?

Last week I decided not to care. I let Elliott sleep where he wanted at whatever time he wanted. On the first day of this experiment he stayed up all day. It was quite frightening to see. The second day we were out most of the day, so he slept soundly in the Beco and even more soundly by my side in the futon at night. The third day he slept a few minutes in his baby futon, but mostly in my arms. Today, the same... Not a lot gets done around the house when I let Elliott sleep in my arms, but he's so cute how could I let him be anywhere else?!

Here is Elliott with me, watching our new TV in the round room:

And here's Elliott's favourite place to sleep, in the Beco while we're out of the house!
