I'm Getting a Little Sleepy!

Trainig last week was great...we had great weather, I did a race and fit all the other stuff in that I had to, so I shouldn't be complaining...but boy, would I like to sleep through the night! The little dude gets up around midnight to eat and once and a while he needs to eat around the 4:30 mark, but that doesn't mean he sleeps in between those times. He likes to wake up crying...which usually means "Mom, come hold me and put me back to sleep." So I decided for my own sanity that he needs to get himself back to sleep during the times he doesn't need to eat (not to mention that he would be getting a better sleep too)! So off to my parent's house we went so I could let him cry it out during those times he's not hungry. I live in a condo and I can't bare to do that to my neighbours.

Well, he woke up at about 10:30...and I didn't go to him...he cried really really, make a mother cry herself, hard...but then he slept better! He woke up at midnight and 4:30 to eat, which sucks but is easier to handle when I don't get to get up 2 other times to soothe him. And hopefully it helped him sleep better.

The bonus was I got to run with my mom this morning. We ran over to the one hill in Chestermere (it's not very long but does the trick) and we ran some hills before heading home! It was the perfect day to run...20 degrees with some light cloud cover...can't get any better and it was a good thing we got it in because it is now pouring rain!! Good ole' Calgary...rains during the stampede!!
