Amazing
That is the word I would use to describe how Drew goes to sleep at night and for naps. We take him upstairs and get him ready. We try rocking him and singing to him, but he fights it. He wants to get down, out of our arms. So we put him in the crib because we KNOW he’s tired. What does he do? Rolls onto his side or stomach and goes to sleep without a peep. Seriously. It is amazing!
Why is it amazing? Because for the last 3 years we have fought to put Sophia to sleep. Even now it is a struggle. She does NOT like to go to sleep. Never has. She has an energy about her that does not want or need sleep. (Okay, so we know she does, but she thinks she doesn’t.) Also, until about a month ago, this was not the case for Drew. We’d have to walk, rock, or nurse him to sleep. Ron wanted me to do CIO and I just couldn’t. Then one day, in my own frustration, I put him in the crib. And? He just fell asleep. All on his own. Again, it was amazing. 
Yay! Anna’s over a year and I’m still amazed at how well she sleep as opposed to Eli, he sounds very much like Sophia!
