Day with Dad

FGH spent most of the day with Peter. I needed a break from the house, and Peter needed a break from studying so there you have it. This is what Busca looked like when I got home! Really, I was only gone a few hours, but even once home Peter played the part of Dad most of the day and I took care of things like hanging curtains and cooking supper. I visited Costco for the first time with my sister, bro-in-law, and niece. It was very big. I came home with a lot of food and cooked up a pasta dish with mushrooms, fresh spinach and a very nice fresh pesto -all costco purchases, also organic salad greens. We followed up with dried mangoes. It was good stuff, I'm not sure if we'll join, but it was fun to get out.

I also stopped at a bookstore and browsed the baby section for books on sleep training. I made a plan and I have to say, Busca is asleep in his crib. He groaned and lightly cried for about 45 minutes. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, and I know that it will be good for him to be able to self soothe. He has been waking up so many times lately in the night and I know he wishes he could stay asleep. It is progressively getting worse, too, he stays awake for sometimes 1/2 hour at a time and wants to crawl around the play. He wakes up early and just looks exhausted. This is supposed to work in a few nights. Tomorrow he will probably take an hour or more to fall asleep (according to my sources) and ....oops...he woke...and is not happy...
