Preparing for camping...or holidays...or weekends away..

OB had his first sleep in the port-a-cot on Thursday. He wasn't too keen to go to sleep. Today I put him down at 10:40am (not his usual 9.30 because we went to the gym - with creche! yay) and its 10:44 and I haven't heard a peep. Bring on camping on the weekend!!!!

I'm glad we persisted the first time - because if he is content to sleep in the port-a-cot, hopefully we can start having holidays and weekends away!!!!!! We have a trip planned for Christmas - with all of hubbys family which will be awesome. I was sooo nervous about how OB would sleep, but if hes happy in the port-a-cot it will be fine! 

My aim for his sleeps tomorrow - to get him to sleep in different rooms of the house!! I'm hoping he will have a nap in the lounge room. And maybe the day after ill try for a nap outside in the port-a-cot (although I don't have high hopes for that one - without it being dark). We are hoping to set up the tent in the backyard this week - to make sure all the bits are there and to see how little man goes. We may try to sleep in the backyard with him (maybe - I don't know if thats a smart idea or not....).

Anyway, port-a-cot success :) 

The biggest things i've learnt about sleep are:

* Persistence pays off! *Sleep breeds sleep (daytime naps are SO important)*Be consistant - as much as possible
