Smith is not a napper... he naps for MAYBE 15-20 min at a time, and even if I try to let him "cry it out" he just doesnt cry, he lays in his crib and looks sleepily around the room so I dont know if he gets any sleep or not unless I stare at him and count the minuets that his eyes actually close. The past week I have been focusing on making sure he naps, but today there were workers outside our house drilling the sidewalk. It was so loud Smith kept jumping every time they would drill. I got so frustrated I finally put him in his bouncer chair and stuck him in the tiny laundry room with the dryer running to drown out the drilling noise.... a miracle happened! He is sleeping! Its already been 45 min and I am so excited I had to write about it. I know I shouldnt get him used to sleeping in there, but at this point I am desperate. So for all you desperate mothers out there... try the laundry room.
I didnt want to risk taking a picture of this moment... so use your imagination.
