Daycare bliss

Okay, last night was some of the rough parts about the daycare transition; here is some praise for why it can be great.

Like with most babies, our biggest challenge with Tabs is sleep.  It took me quite a while to get her napping on her own, and it still really consisted of getting her to sleep and then shifting her into her crib.  Bedtime can take hours, and some nights she wakes up over... and over... and only being taken from the crib and cuddled will put her back down - and only by me... and often only if she nurses.

But already this week they're finding her not that bad.  She takes 10 minutes or less of back patting to go down.

And tonight I reaped the rewards.  She woke up a little while ago.  I went upstairs, rolled her onto her side, and patted her back for about two minutes - and back to sleep she went.  Which has basically never happened before.

Ahhhh.....
