A Test

Tonight is a big night. We are going to see if Gilbert can sleep without being covered with a blanket. Contrary to the picture to the right, Gilbert does not stay under his blanket. As I mention in the post below, he is quite active flailing his arms and kicking his legs.

Well, he has a growing tendency to kick off his blanket in the evening and then wake up crying or just upset that he doesn't have his blanket. Because he likes to wake up with it, grab it, pull the blanket over his head or snuggle with it against his cheek. See the dilemma? Leave the blanket and he kicks it off and wakes up. Take the blanket away and he'll likely wake up anyway not having it to snuggle with. Either way we lose!

So tonight is a test. No blanket. Instead, he's in a sleep sack for warmth and the extra layer. And, we've add Emmit, his trusted 'snuggee' for him to grab and hold and rub against his face. Only the night will tell. But after waking at midnight, 2am, 3am, and then again at 5'ish. It is time to experiment!

Stay tuned...
