You began sleeping 10+ consecutive hours the night of Thursday, November 10th. When we awoke on Friday, November 11th, and realized you hadn't cried out at 4 AM, which had become your habit, we thought you deserved a special treat: we allowed you into our bed for the first time.
You wore a shocked expression while you laid very still, an uncommon practice for you, and looked around. We crawled in beside you and enjoyed reading a book as a family. You tolerated the book, but then you began to yawn and fuss. We would have let you snooze in our bed, supervised of course, but the possibility didn't occur to you. Plus, you're a creature of habit and like routines, so we swaddled and returned you to the crib, and you went right to sleep.
Cuddling with you in our bed was more of a treat for us than for you. But one day, one day, you will be lobbying to climb into our bed and we may regret inviting you.
Don't hog the covers or push us out and we'll get along just fine.
Love you!
Mommy
