Tonight I put Disco-Baby to bed early.  I hate doing this, if he goes to sleep between 7 and 8:30 pm he is up every 15 minutes until 9pm.  Then he sleeps (well except for his feedings ever 2-3 hours<lol> but for those he eats in his sleep).  But he was tired, cranky and just not going to take it anymore so I put him to bed. 

When I finally escaped, it was only 10 minutes before I was in there again.  He wasn’t awake he wasn’t asleep.  He wanted to snuggle and suck his thumb, he wanted to nurse and not touch me (You just can’t do all those things at once).  I got him back to sleep, read beside him for awhile and then snuck away thinking he would sleep for a bit.

I came out to my computer and I hear “rattle”.  Hmmm… strange.  Maybe I am hearing things “rattle, rattle”… “rattle, rattle, rattle”.  I had to go peek, usually he can’t hold the bunny that long or looses interest.  So I snuck up on him, but he caught me, so I climbed into bed.  I decided to read and let him play.  I just wanted to make sure he didn’t get stuck under a pillow again or something. 

So he lay on one side of the bed and I lay on the other reading and just looking over now and then.  Suddenly he is beside me on his belly.  Aha!  Caught him! The other day I found him with a sheet that I had left in the crib (it is up against the bed without a side as a co-sleeper) but he was exactly where I left him in the middle of the bed. 

Disco-Baby is too cute on his belly, but he normally won’t volunteer to be that way.  Also when we put him on his belly when he decides is done he cries until we roll him over.  I know he can do it himself, but he won’t.  But he starts rooting around my breast trying to find my nipple.  I figured once I gave it to him he would roll into a comfortable position to nurse in, so I lifted my shirt and undid my bra.  WRONG.  He wanted to nurse on his belly. 

I let him try for a few minutes but it was too painful for me, so I rolled him onto his side.  And he screamed, and screamed, and would have nothing to do with my breast.  So I rolled him back onto his belly and moved around until I could find a way for him to nurse.  Until he started to fall asleep, then we moved back to a normal nursing position.

He wants it his way, and he gets it his way…

I am doomed.
