we are an “you are my sunshine” family as well, and the youngest does the same as yours, shouting out the main words. so cute.

Um, I don’t think it gets better than that! We’ve never done any sleep training. What I/we do is get into bed (either one of us) with our 4 year old, read him books, and lie there until he falls asleep. As for my baby (22 months) I then lie down with him in MY bed, cuddling, until he falls asleep. Then I put him in his crib, asleep. Around 1 a.m. he will wake up, calling for me, and I automatically go get him, and bring him to my bed. Hubby then goes to sleep with our oldest son in his queen size bed. And now I’m starting to think… maybe we should be doing something to change this? Although, I must admit, I LOVE sleeping beside my baby – I did that with Christos until Dimitry was born, almost every night!

Oh that is awesome. I had the opposite happen with my M, he had been going to sleep on his own from the start and then at about a year he decided no more. It was a hard time but we survived. I hope this next guy will be easier on me

It sounds like maybe Lucas has been very sweet in letting you rock him to sleep all these months…maybe he senses that he is your last baby and that you wanted (and needed) to hold on for just a little bit longer. =)

These little moments, all of them, are the precious endings of babyhood. What a beautiful post.

Oh I’m so, so jealous. I just posted last night about our struggle to get our 16-month old to sleep through the night. There is no problem putting her down for naps or at bedtime totally awake, and we have a bathtime/bedtime routine at night, at the end of which she snuggles into her crib with her blankie and goes to sleep. Sometimes she even waves at me as I leave the room. Our problem has been getting her to sleep through the night without waking up several times in the wee hours, and staying in her crib past 5am.
As for the crib, we have a drop side we bought two years ago (not the recalled brands though) and I really like it. I’m short, and still have trouble putting my daughter down in a lying down position onto her dropped mattress without having the side down. It was fine when she was an infant & we had the mattress raised, but the drop side prevents me from pitching my daughter in her crib and hoping for the best

Uh, too. Two times I make that mistake and you will send me to the grammar holding pen.

That’s a great sleep-training story. I had one kid like that, two. (The other two? Not so much.)

I’m sort of heaving a sigh now, though, as I try to figure out where to get replacement hardware for our old drop-side crib. I’m saving it for future grandchildren, and I can just hear my kids in twenty years, snapping at me that of course that dangerous, dangerous crib is Not Acceptable for their new baby.

My dad still has my bright-green, bathed-in-lead-paint, 8″ railed crib in a crawlspace at home. He should have tossed it years ago. There’s a lesson in that, but I’m not listening. LALALALALA.
