28 Days of Loving Lily: Day 4 - You are a Wonderful Sleeper



Dear Lily,

We love what an AMAZING sleeper you are!  You are just a rock star sleeper! You are currently sleeping between 14-15 hours a day.  You take one nap at noon that lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours.  Your bedtime is anywhere between 6:30 and 7pm and you usually sleep until 7am the following morning!  You usually don't wake up during the night unless you are sick or cutting teeth, so we know you are just as distressed as we are when you wake up when you are not feeling well.  We have a pretty structured schedule that you are thriving with and it is a sad day when we get off of it a little bit.  While you are flexible and able to adapt to most changes, when your nap gets messed up, things are just not the same, so I do everything I can to keep things on track for you.

These days, you are primarily a tummy and side sleeper.   You have two lovie bunnies and a blankie that you sleep with each night.  You have never been a thumb sucker, but you do like to suck on two of your fingers at night. I like to sneak into your room late at night to say a little extra good night to you before I go to sleep.  Sometimes you stay sleeping, other times you stir just enough to notice I'm there.  Your sleepy sweetness makes me want to just jump into your crib beside you for some sleepy snuggles.  So far,  I've held myself back, but there are times it feels next to impossible!    

The best part about all of the sleep you get, is that you are a very well rested, even tempered, smart and pleasant little gal! We love you!
