And he sleeps!

I hate to curse our luck, but Ashton has slept two nights in a row all through the night.  However, it has been in our bed with dad one night on the floor one night and the other on the couch.  You would think he's in trouble with me or something.  Tonight is the night I have got to get my boy to sleep in his crib.   However, I have caught many great smiles the last two days and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with getting a good nights sleep.



I haven't posted pictures of Ashton's room yet, but I LOVE it.  I did all the decorating myself.  Dad helped paint and he hung the shelf.  Yes, the shelf is almost to the ceiling but he says "its sturdy, and it's high enough I won't hit my head on it, and that's what matters.")  The problem with my decorating is; it either stimulates Ashton's brain too much that he can't stop staring at the walls or he thinks it is scary.  I swear he could be so tired and once I get him in his room and finish feeding him, his eyes are wide open and he is fully alert staring at the walls. 

But today at nap time.....he slept!  The best part was it was effortlessly, he didn't cry, he didn't scream, he just kicked around a bit and then went to sleep. 








I originally wanted retro owls, but I couldn't find anything that I had pictured in my mind, so it defaulted to this "forest friends" fabric with some other retro material.  Aunt Diane did a great job making the bedding for Ashton. 




I made his letters with Toy story and Cars childrens books, tore out pictures I liked and mod podged them on.
