Last night, oh my goodness
So we're still plugging away. Last night was the worst yet and we had to make concessions in order to get him to sleep. We're still optimistic. We know that sometimes you have to endure some hardship in order to make something work. He's a good boy and it will all work out in the end.

In an effort to keep him occupied while in the crib I bought him yet another "soother." He has so much hardware in his crib now it's as if he's sleeping in the cockpit of a jet fighter. Call the boy Iceman. He now has the Leapfrog soother and it really is a keen piece of machinery. Under different circumstances I'd say it is the best toy ever. It has great lullabies, tells stories and has a wonderful nightlight that screens little baby sheep for Evan to count, all of which he shows absolutely no interest. I think the best nighttime soother would be one that at the slightest peep emits a sleep-inducing gas. The gas would be baby powder scented.

Better yet, bubblegum scented.
