like most things with donovan i cannot wait for something to happen and then it does and it makes me sad because it happens to quickly....for me. can you tell that i have a tough time with change?
donovan's nursery is upstairs and our bedroom is downstairs and so donovan has slept in a
pack n play in our room. this means that each night for the past five months dan and i have tip toed into our pitch dark bedroom and felt our way around to find ourselves in our bed. this has also disrupted our lifestyle because our second tv is in our bedroom....and we do not typically watch the same things on tv, which has been a lesson on sharing.
yet again i have blinked my eyes and he is five months. in that time i have gotten use to feeling my way to bed through a dark bedroom and watching sports 99.9% of the time. i think that it is typical for a mom to hold just a little closer to babies.....i mean i knew that as soon as he was moved upstairs it was the end of a chapter...the end of ANOTHER chapter, and so i was dragging this out as long as i could. and then it happened.....out of the blue dan has a dad to dad conversation with a friend where it was disclosed that donovan was still in our room. dan's friend (thanks joey faucher) told how quickly his kids moved into their nursery and dan realized donovan could in fact survive upstairs. this meant that whole "it is still too early for donovan" and "five months is too young" "dan it is dangerous" argument would not work anymore. with five months around the corner we did it. putting him upstairs and walking all the way downstairs seems so far away, but the next morning came and i ....i mean he made it.
i guess this is not the last time that i will have to reevaluate if i am holding him close for his safety or for me.....parenting is hard stuff...on a positive note i will say that it is fab to have our bedroom back though, especially since football season has started :)
