Sleep Style

Man, having babies sure is like having different flavors of ice cream. The little details are the best and they're even more interesting when you have something to contrast them to. 

Sleeping for Wyatt is one of those differences from Owen. Owen loved to cuddle and mold himself to the situation. (Big surprise for our little bag of Jell-O.) 

Wyatt, on the other hand, flips himself onto his stomach, scooches himself to a corner and once he's comfortable sticks his little butt up in the air for the long haul. He's a mover, so many times throughout the night he's crinkling the waterproof sheet or generally making tossing and turning sounds. But when he's quiet, in a deep sleep, you can count on him being in his happy place here with his head in the corner and his bottom up.


When he's napping in his crib he doesn't have his corner. We suspect this is why he rarely sleeps for longer than a half hour when he's napping. Our tell-tale sign that our half-hour of reprieve is up is when we hear happy little coos emanating from the nursery. Nine times out of ten, though, when we go to get him after a nap, we're greeted with this sight:

Yeah, that'll work.

Wow, I didn't know he slept like that in his bassinett. How fun, and now you have the evidence. (you know when doggie's put their bottoms up in the air it means they want to play . . . do you think Wyatt's ready for that in his dreams?? :0) ) Love you, Gramma Bug
