Flip flop
We officially have a stomach-sleeper at 5.5 months.
For the last two nights, Emmie has flipped herself onto her stomach and slept like that for several hours. I know all the blah blah about "back to sleep" but once the kid can turn herself over, all bets are off.
The first time I discovered her sleeping with her face in the crib mattress, I about had a heart attack. But then I looked closely and noticed her face was actually turned to the side and she had a clear airway. So I left her alone, smugly thinking this would be the magic bullet for sleeping through the night.
Of course she made a fool out of me when she woke up two hours later. And two hours after that. And two hours after that. I waved the white flag and brought her in my bed around 2 a.m. and stopped counting how many times she woke me up.
What I haven't stopped counting is the number of times Jack has accidents with the potty training. I am proud to report he didn't have any accidents at all yesterday and had a small one today where he actually realized he was peeing, stopped himself and went into the bathroom to finish -- all on his own. He's even emptying his own potty insert into the big toilet. This Mommy gig is looking up!
I am now only asking him if he has to go once an hour and he is telling me or just going on his own a couple times a day. I know we're by no means done, but I am feeling pretty good about his progress considering he's 2 years 4 months.
Next on the agenda is teaching him how to make the perfect margarita.

Be sure to tell him to use Cointreau--Top Shelf Toddler can be his handle.
Once he gets the margarita gig down pat, you can send him to my house!
way to go Jack =) He is doing awesome for his age!
Yay for Jack!
Tummy sleeping did nothing for Ethan, either, in terms of sleeping through the night. Why must they tease us like that??
