We'll leave the dryer to the laundry...

Nights have been pretty rough the last few weeks, once Landon wakes up to eat, he is up and has no interest in being put back down or falling asleep. Chris finally broke down one night and put Landon in his carrier and was about to go for a drive in the middle of the night, but instead decided to turn on the dryer and put his carrier on top of it. He fell asleep INSTANTLY, and he slept for over 4 hours! It was a relief, however, we both knew that it wasn't something we could make a habit of, or else Landon would be sleeping on top of the dryer until he is 3. I could just see us ending up on some afternoon talk show about bad parenting as Dr. Phil zooms in on a picture of a dryer... then points out the toddler sound asleep on top of it. So, needless to say we aren't sticking to the whole "dryer" routine, and after last night we just might not need to! I put Landon down at 10:30 and he slept until 3:40... I figured it was just lucky and prepared for an hour struggle trying to get him to sleep again. To my astonishment, he went right back to sleep and didn't wake up again until 7:45!! HOORAY!! A full nights sleep! (or as close as I am going to get to one for a long time) It was a great night.

Landon, let's do it again tonight buddy!!
