Last night, around 2:00 am I whispered to Alan "Hey, did you blog about 'the cuddle treatment,' yet?" He said no so I am updating now in order to document this phenomenon.
Julius has entered a phase in his life where he must fuss or cry a bit before he is willing to finally give in and welcome sleep. Now, what we don't do is leave him alone in a room inside of a crib to cry. What we do do is hold him in our arms and rock him gently and sing. Boy does he hate it. He just cries and cries. I don't hold him very tightly so he breaks free quite a bit. After a couple of minutes of the cuddle treatment he's ready for sleep, though.
It's like some strange little dance we do now before bed.
