we had trouble again last night getting hiro to sleep. i guess it didn't help that he started clapping on his own and i was so excited about it that i kept encouraging him...but he was tired and i just wanted him to sleep. after thirty minutes of crawling around the futon and trying to stand up with help from the boxes i took him downstairs and put him in his crib. he really does sleep there during the day and it's a safe place for him, so i left him in there. of course, yoshi had to take him out...

after another thirty minutes or so i took him back upstairs and he went straight to sleep.

this morning he woke up really early and fussed. and crawled. i nursed him, but when he was nearly asleep and not drinking anymore i took him off the breast. so naturally, he screamed. actually, one of his teeth on the top is coming in so i think this is another bout of teething. poor little guy. he finally went to sleep again but unfortunately, i did not.
