New Habits

Go to Sleep School they said it will be great HA! I liken it to Bootcamp … first day is great, you sleep like a log as you would after your first session of Bootcamp then BAM every session after that tests you physically emotionally & mentally!!

Day 2 of Sleep School waking after 12 hours sleep was horrible – felt like jet lag, headachey, I felt like I was a zombie….  it was as if I’d over slept???

Then it was game on and seeing who could win the resettle battles between Me and a 10month old…. Lets just say this boy has stamina, puts up a good fight and super stubborn (nothing like me right?!) but in his defence he has had 10months of missing nap times due to Mr 3’s activities and doesn’t like to miss out so during the day so 45min naps was all he was doing ugghhhh.

It was tough when trying to resettle my strong willed boy standing out side his door and other Mummy’s glancing out their room hoping he didn’t wake their sleeping babies. But as one of the beautiful nurses put it “ the other babies are all aged between 2-6months old and haven’t developed little habits like Grayson yet” lucky me!

Weve now been home 5 days since sleep school, was I even more exhausted when I checked out compared to the day we were admitted YES, but weve had some little wins since being home like SLEEPING THRU THE NIGHT again so totally worth it… Also takes 21 days to form a new habit we are only 9 days in so still a work-in-progress and I now I just have to work out how to function on having too much sleep again :)

Have a great weekend
