Sleep…

Sleep is good.  Tristan seems to be learning this.  He’s finally getting pretty good at taking his naps (at least at night — Kirin could speak more for the daytime).  Basically, if he’s sleepy, taking him upstairs and laying with him on the bed tends to calm him enough that he can be put down in his crib, and actually sleep.   

We’ve also learned (from watching Grandma Linda!) that Tristan is generally soothed by the patting on the back.  Not something we’d really noticed before, but, for instance, tonight, he woke up after being in the crib for ~15 minutes;  I simply went up, started patting him on the back, and boom, out he goes again.  Total nap time tonight:  3+ hours. 

In part, I’d worried that he’d wind up sleeping less overnight as a result, but in the past couple of weeks, he’s actually been really good about sleeping 7+ hours. 

 

Also:  he’s been relatively good about riding in the car – which is good.  We’ve been touring various parts of town, looking at houses – sometimes spending hours in the car, driving in circles.   He’s worse about it when we actually stop to go inside – he tends to fuss when we put him back in the car.
