To sleep, perchance to dream...
Boo had a momentous weekend. We moved him to his own room to begin sleeping in his crib. I'd like to tell you that this decision was part of some well-conceived plan to bolster his independence, but the truth is, I acted out of desperation. We'd had three nights this week when Boo was awake for two hours or more during the middle of the night, and so was I. I had imagined that I'd feel terribly sad when we moved Boo out of our room, but what I actually experienced was relief. I've said it before, and it's even more true today: I need more sleep. The outcome, in a nutshell, is that we all slept better the first night, and even better the second. My fingers are crossed for an even more successful third. All sorts of positive qualities flow from adequate sleep--things I value, like patience and humor and creativity--and I'm looking forward to seeing some of them again very soon.

Hooray! Glad to hear it's going well. I have my fingers crossed for you, too.
