B-Boy's teacher asked if I was ready to sign the paperwork for him to be able to sleep on his stomach. Since he is able to roll over completely now, he is able to sleep on his tummy.
This week, he took his first nap at daycare on his tummy. He has started this way at home a few times, but always manages to get to his back before really getting to deep sleep. He was the only one left in the class sleeping on his back, but this week a new baby girl entered the class!
So he is no longer the youngest, and frankly, has never been the smallest in the room! He's bigger than the oldest child, who is 11 months old! He is currently wearing 18 month old clothes... which is what my friend Cat's 14 month old son is wearing... and B-Boy is 6 1/2 months old! Yikes. Heaven help me when it is time for us to buy him shoes.
Another item to note about sleeping... B-Boy has been moved to his own area to sleep in class. All the babies were grouped together in a train-like pattern (one next to the other) on one side of the room. Since he often screams a very high pitch scream while asleep, he wakes the other kids. They end up awake wondering what in the world that noise was... and B-Boy is still in slumberland. His teachers then have to scramble to quickly help all five kids to get back to sleep, which is very difficult with the older kids I am told.
So this week I went to feed him to find that his crib had been moved to the other side of the room. Neb, the ever introvert, says "All right B-Boy!"... but I think that is more because he wishes he could do that with his cube at work. I think he is secretly wishing he didn't have to talk to anyone during the day!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
B-Boy seems to like it, and I think the other kids are much happier. As I told his teachers when we enrolled him, you have to do what you have to do in order to keep your sanity. B-Boy is not the only child in the room, and if I was the parent of one of the other kids, you know I would want them to do something!
So for now, B-Boy has his own crib, so to speak. He isn't letting this newfound freedom go to his head.
