I think the hardest part of being a parent
is the continual self-doubt. Just when you think you have the
hang of things, baby changes and does something different and
throws you for a loop. For example, Lex has been napping well
all week with little to no crying. Today, however, after a bad
night of sleep (for no apparent reason), he just wouldn’t go
down for a nap. He was obviously tired, but he cried and cried
for 1/2 hour until I finally gave in and nursed him to sleep. I
don’t even think he was hungry, just wanted to cuddle or
something. Was that the best thing to do? I don’t know. I
really don’t want to get back in the bad sleeping pattern, but
maybe he really needed something today. Who knows.
