* Rain Rain Make Qile Sleep! *
something so amazing happened today!
Qile fell asleep on his changing mat
after his evening bath as i went about clearing his bath paraphernalia!!
i was about to pick him up when i saw
his eyes closed and that he was sound asleep!!!
think it must have been the combination of the pelting rain on the rooftop and
the swaying banana trees he was staring at thru the kitchen windows.
he slept for a grand total of 20 minutes and as soon as the rain stopped, he
woke up!
this is the very first time he has
fallen asleep on his own!
never before, always need to rock or nurse to sleep.
i cannot just say: Baby close your eyes, Mommy pat pat, Baby sleep sleep!
i'm now looking for cds with rain
sounds to see if the magic will repeat itself...
but how am i to transplant a banana tree into my flat?!!
