Lately we've been having trouble getting Thaddeus to go to sleep. The normal routine for naps and bedtime is:
- Pick him and his blanket up
- Lay the blanket over your shoulder
- Lay Thaddeus over your shoulder
- Thaddeus quickly relaxes and falls asleep
- Gently lay the baby in his bed
- He immediately stands up and starts screaming
- Listen to him scream for 10 minutes until he goes to sleep
Today at nap time however, after he stood up I (for no particular reason) started rubbing his face gently with his blanket. Then to my surprise he slowly sat down and then rolled from a sitting position onto his stomach and fell asleep. Then this evening I got even more dramatic results. Same general scenario except when I rubbed his face with the blanket, he fell over like a tree struck by lightning and slammed face down onto his mattress, and he was out! It was kind of crazy, and made me glad I hadn't set him in bed to close to the side of the bed.
