Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

Sleeping Arrangements I

Major transitions around here, as I prepare to go back to work in a few weeks.  We're trying to get everyone into new sleeping arrangements.
Sam never left his crib that he has been in since he was 5 months old.  Among the things he is stubborn about giving up, the crib is the one that has to go.  Vivian has outgrown the bassinet and has almost flipped out of it.  Now she's back in bed with Chris and I and we are not getting enough sleep.

Sam will sleep elsewhere on vacation- selectively.  In Martha's Vineyard, his sleeping spot was the windowsill in our bedroom, despite the very cool bunk-beds in the other room (my parents got to experience those instead, though I guess they wouldn't have fit on the windowsill).

This weekend, Chris took Sam to see a family friend, and Vivian and I hung out here.  Furniture got moved (thank you Grand Joe) and the playroom got organized (thank you Auntie), and Vivian has been in the crib for two nights.  She did fairly well all things considered.  My goal is to get her to sleep through until 5:30, when I will be getting up for work in a few weeks!  Yikes!  When Sam gets back in a few hours, he'll have a little shock to find his toddler bed in place of his crib and his sister in his old digs.

Hoping for the best tonight!
