Sleep War Armistice

And thus we declare a truce in the sleep wars, it was a peaceful ceasefire. Over the last week I'd noticed that even though Zara was sleeping with us, she was shimmying over next to me less and less. Friday night, I slept with one of the large receiving blankets so it would pick up our smell and then tucked it around the pack n play base to make a sheet out of it.

Yesterday afternoon, Z slept for a two hour nap in there sans binkie and then last night I just put her in there and we all went to bed. Lo and behold, she slept until her usual 4am waking after 6 or 7 hours or sleep when she got changed and fed and tucked back in for another 3 hours. It might not be so easy every night, but I think she just let me know that she was ready and it appears she was. John and I are just happy for our 3 month present from a little girl.

Here is the 7:30am proof, she was still out like a light even when we switched on the overhead for a picture and a couple other pics from yesterday.
