That's it. You may see some problems with this, ie I am the ONLY one who can put him to sleep, but for the most part I don't mind that at all. Now that he is nearly 20 months, I am trying to figure out another way to put him to sleep. Ha ha. When Jameson was young he only ever stayed up for about an 1.5 hours at a time so I started putting him down after about an hour and 15 minutes of awake time. It worked for us. I ended up napping with him most of the time, so we fell asleep in my bed and slept for a couple hours or so. Good luck!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756488774000631366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424498722888936617.post-40294023540212959652009-10-08T21:35:50.331-07:002009-10-08T21:35:50.331-07:00Ooooh, I have comments!
