...bedtime Drama. Up until this week, Justin has been SUCH a good sleeper. We put him in his crib and he might cry for a minute or two, but then he's sleeping. Not recently. We put him in and he SCREAMS at the top of his lungs...then does the not going to breath and my face is purple scream. Even if I hold him and he's asleep in my arms, as soon as he touches the matress it's all over. He is back to screaming. Last night I tried going in there every 10 minutes and laying him back down, telling him I loved him and then leaving the room. This went on for about 80 minutes :( I put a radio in there and I don't know if that helped or not? At daycare the nap area has a CD player playing lullabyes - maybe that is what he has gotten used to? Our first night in the apt he did great, but ever since we got back fromn Michigan it's been a battle. Did anyone else have this problem??? Any suggestions???
I bet some of you thought this post would be much more interesting than just our sleepytime woes???? :)

That is so wierd, it must be the age. Just last week was when Noah started being a stinker about going to bed. Before now, it's been a bottle, rock him for 10 minutes and he's out and I put him in his crib and he sleeps all night.
Last week, he started coming unglued before bed and in the middle of the night. I haven't found the magic trick yet, but if I do I'll let you know. I've tried laying down with him, rocking him and holding him firmly until he gives up fighting, just laying him down, etc. Ava went through this stage, but her magic cure was simply that she wanted to be layed in her crib and left alone. Noah is not so easy! He kicks and screams and throws his head backwards. I feel better though knowing that Justin is going through the same stage. Hopefully, it's just a stage!
Maybe Noah and Justin have been talking to eachother and giving eachother temper tantrum tips?? :)
