Lullaby and Good Night, Won't You PLEASE Go To Sleep...

We think Aidan is trying to pull an all-nighter. First we put him to bed. Silence as usual, than crying. Non stop crying. So we got him back up. I Nursed him one more time. We put him back to bed. More crying. Rocking, singing and playing later, Teddy tucked under his arm and the thumb in action, he's asleep. Only to wake up 15 minutes later, crying. So, an hour on the couch playing games with Mama and Dada. Boy, we can be entertaining.

He's picked up a new game where I put a cloth on top of his head, hiding his eyes and ask 'where's Aidan?' (sometimes you can see under the cloth and he has a HUGE smile by this time). Then he dramatically pulls of the cloth and I say 'There you are'! followed by a smile from ear to ear and occasionally a giggle. He also loves to be tickled. You have to say 'tickle, tickle, tickle' while you're doing it though.

Anyway, now, after more milk and some good singing by Daddy, he's finally been asleep for 5 minutes...keep your fingers crossed for us!
