We've sort of started a mentality that we can use any means necessary to get this guy to sleep. Owen is 4 weeks old today and at first we were treating him so delicately. These days, in the interest of preserving sanity, we're taking delicacy down a notch and putting a premium on quiet. We figure that if he doesn't like something, he'll just continue screaming. By stopping he's actually reverse voicing consent. So we have putting him by the washer and dryer, over the shoulder, and my personal favorite knock him out in the sling, keep him out in the bouncer 1-2 combo. I don't know how single mothers do it. We have three reasonably intelligent, full grown adults (Debby is back in town) taking shifts and all of us are showing signs of wear. Props to single mothers everywhere.

Out of necessity comes creativity. I've found that even my daycare kiddos need a dark, closed in feeling when taking their naps. White noise is good too. I usually turn on the fan above the stove to help give "noise" so they can sleep better.
Just watch the shelf thingyy above Owens head in the laundry room....even though its the dryer...it can still vibrate off and fall kerplunk on his head! Ouchie.... :-)
Hugs and loves, and he's looking cuter by the day!
