I feel liberated right now...like I semi got my life back. This is the second night in a row my
baby toddler has slept by himself in a big boy bed! We've been co-sleeping for the past 15 months. It started when his dad had to be up early for work and couldn't get sleep with a baby up crying all the time and me freaking out because I didn't know if he was breathing or not. Fortunately co-sleeping worked for us my fears were pacified and we all got a good nights sleep until Mr. Toddler started moving around, kicking, pulling hair, flipping over etc during the night. Now, I never sleep because I have an inch of space in a queen size bed because a little toddler thinks he's king.
I'm hoping him sleeping alone will continue and that I stop being a HUGE worry wart. Although I love having this time to myself while he's in bed I'm still freaked out about him not breathing. Last night I kept waking up and I must have checked on him 15x until I decided to bring him to bed with me at 4AM. Hopefully tonight goes better for me. I don't want to be like my crazy parents who still check on their grown children when they're around.
