I’m totally going to jynx myself by writing this blog, but the truth is I haven’t figured out what to do with my free time (since I have rarely experienced it with Jayden), so today I’m on the computer.  Since Jayden’s been born, I thnk he’s been far to excited about being alive to sleep.  Once he recovered from the birth and woke up from his peaceful 2-week coma like state, Jayden decided he’d had enough sleeping and wasn’t going to do it anymore.  For the next 3-4 months, he would take 15-20 min naps randomly throughout the day.  The attempt to get him on any sort of schedule or to get him to sleep by himself was veto’d by him.  If he was going to sleep longer than 15 mins, someone was going to have to hold him.  So many a naps he spent in a sling or a baby carrier while I tried to get something done around the house or while I tried to just enjoy a little ‘quiet’ time by myself.  Over the next few months, he gradually learned to sleep by himself in his crib and he gradually extended his naps from 20mins to now about an hour, so now I have time to take a shower and get the dishes done before he wakes up.  Most of the time it is an hour on the nose, but the last couple days…I don’t know what has gotten into him.   Yesterday he went down for his morning nap, and slept for 2 1/2 hours.   I couldn’t believe it.  I didn’t know what to do with myself.  What do people do when their kids sleep longer than an hour?  I got bored on the internet, I had no more dishes to do.  The kitchen was clean, the family room was clean, the laundry was done and folded and actually put away (that hardly ever happens).  Luckily Kaylee came over with Wyatt to keep my company.   When Jayden finally woke up, we played, ate, and ran some errands and when we came back it was time for his afternoon nap.  Again, I was expecting about an hour.  Then an hour came and went.  After 2 hours, he finally woke up.  I couldn’t believe it.   So, today I was expecting things to go back to normal.  I put him down at 9 this morning and it is now 10:50am and I am just starting to hear some little noises come from his room.  Like the sound of his bink being thrown across the room and hitting the door.  If he keeps sleeping like this, I’m gonna have to find something new to do.  :)
