Tummy Time???

We have had a sleep advancement in the Ruple household! This has not come in the form of nighttime sleep (although we can't really complain about this either!), but in the form of a daytime nap. Bryson has never slept well during the day. I never imagined we would have a baby who WILL NOT sleep! This has been hard on all of us, but lately I realized that it is the hardest on Bryson. He gets so exhausted he often screams during the evening time, and cannot be consoled. While he doesn't like to lay in his crib for an afternoon nap, I know that he NEEDS a nap. So, being the parent in this situation, I decided that he HAD to take a nap. It was not easy at first. As a matter of fact he screamed at the top of his lungs for what seemed like an eternity. When he finally calmed down (after I put the pacifier back in his mouth about ten times), he dozed off and slept for a whole hour! Yesterday he went down much easier and slept for an hour and fifteen minutes; and today, he went down without a problem and slept for two hours! Victory! The only problem is he wants to sleep on his tummy. This leads to one nervous mom. I'm just remembering that Jason and I both slept on our stomachs as kids (as my mom keeps reminding me!). As our pediatrician says- "what are you going to do? He needs to sleep!" He is still sleeping on his back at night, and I check on him all the time during his naps. This parenting stuff isn't easy! But it is so worth it...
