Sweet Sleep

So if you followed any of my posts before you know that our sweet little boy did not like to sleep thru the night or take very long naps ever. We FINALLY got him sleeping thru the nights pretty regularly a little over a month ago. Yea!! He still has some nights he wakes up but only will wake up once a night versus 2 or 3 times before. I feel like a can manage once a night occasionally it really doesn't seem that bad. He does wake up pretty early (5:45 this morning) and did not go back to sleep. Most days he wakes up between 6:30 & 7. So I feel like we are doing much better at nights.
Naps were the next challenge. I was about to give up on him taking 2 naps a day. He would only take a morning nap for about 1-1.5 hrs if I was lucky, and would not take another nap. Now he's decided he needs 2 naps a day and is sleeping in the morning for around 1 hr. and then again in the afternoon for about 1.5 hrs. And the best part is he's been falling asleep on his own and pretty quickly for his naps. I haven't had to go back in, which before I did often. I just lay him down and he'll talk and make some noise for a little bit and then fall asleep!! It's been so nice! We just had 1 day last week where he wouldn't take an afternoon nap but every other day he's done great. I think for one thing he's been getting up a little early so then he's ready for his 1st nap early. I also think he's been growing lately and needs the sleep and he's just so active lately running around that he's wearing himself out.
Ok this just turned into a really long thing about his sleep..... it's just such a nice a change for me
