Today Ava Was A Bit Atypical

On a normal night when you get tired, we'll go sit in the master bedroom, let you wind down, and eventually put you in your crib for the night. 

Down goes Gravy.

I don't want to start bad habits, but you don't like to miss anything and will fight sleep until you can no longer go on. We know when you get tired, the signs are obvious to us now. You'll get squirmy, restless, and cranky. 

Tonight, Keith was over and hanging out with us. We knew you started to get tired but didn't want to miss any possible action. I tried in vein a few times to get you to go to sleep. 

Your mom also tried to put you down for the night. No luck. 

She brought you back out and handed you to me in the recliner. We relaxed and had your glow worm in hand. It calmed you down as it always does and eventually, you were down for the count. 

This just doesn't happen. It's rare for you to fall asleep in the living room so we sat for a few minutes to make sure you were sleeping and your mom took you back to your crib. 

Sleep tight little one.
