Evan and I have settled into a routine as of late. At night we but him to sleep in his crib in our bedroom. Then when Andrea and I go to sleep I gently pick him up carry him to the living room and gingerly put him in his pack and play to sleep the night away.
When morning comes Evan will often 'wake up' sometime between 5 and 6. I usually get up so Andrea can catch a few more z's. What I find is that while he doesn't want to sleep in his pack and play anymore, Evan is not quite awake enough to seize the day. When this happens we grab his bear, his nuk, and his blanket and dad and Evan head for the couch. We snuggle up together and he gently plays with his bear or touches my face until he drifts back to sleep.
Some mornings, I too drift off again and others I barricade him in with pillows and get ready for the day.
There is nothing sweeter then watching sleepy Evan gently touch his bear as he quiets himself down for another hour or so of sleep. It melts my heart.
