So I have been having a hard time letting Mason grow up. Ryan wants to use "Super Nanny" techniquies by putting him in his bed and letting him cry it out and I say no. While I have been sick for the last 3 weeks, Ryan has had to deal with the boys much more, giving them their baths, and all of the stuff that I usually do. While he was taking on my normal routine, he decided to take on the night time one as well. I didn't think that it would work, or maybe hoped it wouldn't, but it did.
At 9:00 pm, Ryan told the boys to go upstairs and brush their teeth and get into bed. Mason ran upstairs, did what he was asked and climbed into his bed. He turned on his new Wonder Pets cd and fell right to sleep. I was very impressed.
Now that I am feeling better, Ryan reminded me that I needed to keep up with what he started last week. I didn't think it would work but I gave it a try. I told the boys to go brush and Mason went along for the ride. When he was done, he climbed into bed and didn't make a peep. I expected some fussing and whining but nothing from him, most was from me.
I am slowly loosing my baby. All the special moments that him and I shared are slowly slipping away from me, what am I to do? I feel like I didn't get to spend as much time with Mason when he was little because I had to go back to work right after he was born. I have been trying to charish every moment with him, but I feel like he is growing too fast and I am missing out on everything.

In some ways I have been successful and you do not like to admit it. I love you so much. I think you may be a little jealous now that I get to spend more time during the week with the boys.
I am so glad the kids are not sleeping with us anymore now it is our time again...
This blog is such a great idea. Ryan sent it to me. I have been exactly where you are with Mason with Ryan. When he was only two months old I had to return to work. The worse day for me was when he was learning to talk and I picked him up and he called the babysitter Mom. I just about died. They grow up too fast Stace. Enjoy every moment you can even if it is just watching them sleep in their beds. It gives a mother great joy to see those little faces warm, happy and soundly sleeping. Love Chris
