Granny Daycare

We don’t really feel comfortable taking him out to day care yet, so we leave him at home. Luckily, we have both sets of grandparents living nearby, so they come by and baby-sit during the day. One week is my parents, the next week is my in-laws. They are really helping us out and learning a lot about the baby. I mentioned it before on the blog, but they thought I was lying. Jordan prefers to stool when he’s naked. He knows when you are changing the diaper, and that’s when he starts to push. When I mention this, people think I’m talking about urine and how little boys will pee on you. He has done that a couple of times, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about a baby who likes to poop. My mother in-law went through 4 diapers in one changing yesterday because she would clean the poop and put on a new diaper, and he wasn’t done. The trick to changing this boy is to unfasten his diaper and wait about 3 minutes. When he relaxes, he’s done.

Last night we got over 6 hours of sleep. That has become the new definition of a full night’s sleep during the week. Last night was special though. It was the first time his crying did not wake up his mother. She usually has that psychic mental thing were she wakes up before he even starts crying. He smacked his lips once and woke her up. Last night I think we both slept a good five minutes before I woke up. She never woke up. I am not enjoying the late night feedings, but he is absolutely worth it. I can’t wait until he starts spending more time awake.
