success

We have found a blessing in the form of vibration.
Mason is going to  sleep in less then 30 minutes now a days!!! This is way down from his typical 1.5 hours.  We have been using a crib vibrating egg thing that's suppose to go under the mattress to gently vibrate the mattress but our little guy needed more. So we put it under his pillow and it has worked so great!!
I can't tell you what a relief it is to watch him gently fall asleep. He still needs some gentle tapping from us but not the full body bouncing he's required in the past.  I guess I'll have to get my workout somewhere else now 😉

As a Momma I feel success when I find just what my babies need.  I imagine (in some small way) this is what God feels like when we listen to his plan for our life. You know all those times Mason couldn't fall asleep I would pray so hard for his peace, our peace, his future, our ability to parent him the way he needs, and ( not gonna lie) sleep.   Like I've said before, I can see God's answered prayers in our life. Not always in the way I thought they'd be answered but in His perfect way.  This again was his perfect way. 

So maybe you'll see less whining sleep posts.  We can move on to bigger and better things...like how much hair this kid has or how he is growing so big, one area at a time.  Just for the record: Mason can climb stairs one foot at a time, climb everything in sight, snap, write (when he's not eating the crayon), copy sounds, and do also anything his brothers do that looks like fun.  He has such a spunky personality. Like when he eats something he really likes he wiggles. He has a happy walk and is always ready for a big 'old bear hug!! He can be just the sweetest thing. 

That face says it all!
