Last week, I could put him on my chest with a binky and pat his back and he'd fall asleep, if I caught him at the right time. It seemed to work quite a bit that week. Then this week came. He didn't want anything to do with me this week. He didn't want to be on my chest, he just didn't want me. The vacuum cleaner has even begun to fail unless he's really tired. Last night he wouldn't nap around 7pm. So, we put him in his swing. He played for awhile and we gave him a rattle toy. Of course he chewed on it. I started saying prodding him with mamamamamamama. He got sleepy and fell asleep while swinging, eating his rattle and me saying mamamamamamama. Strange, strange boy.

Sleep Roulette
These past two weeks have been different in trying to get Ollie to sleep than any we've had up to this point. Ollie has started to want to stay up more. He's fighting his sleep harder than before. So the usual tricks have not worked as well.
