Dear Fable

At 16-months, you're still not a consistent sleeper. You often wake in the night and require some attention before you'll go back to sleep. Or when I'm really tired, I just bring you to bed with us. Since you're always on the go when you're awake, I don't mind to sleep with you, quiet and still in my arms (on occasion).

And then there are nights when you sleep straight through, until 6:30 am! And even though you usually have to cry it out for a few minutes before you'll ever go to sleep in your crib, last night you only fussed a second, and tonight you didn't fuss AT ALL! Maybe you've finally learned to fall asleep on your own! JUST IN TIME FOR OUR TRIP THIS WEEKEND!

We're staying in a hotel, which means you'll spend half the night in your pack n play and half the night in bed with us. And we're driving and visiting with family, which means you'll nap in the car at odd hours. Which means that by the time we return home on Sunday, you'll be totally thrown off and back to crying it out and sleeping with us.

Oh well, we'll sleep again when we're old.
