Solo sleeping

Last night, Noah slept in his room by himself for the first time, with neither Grant or I sleeping next to his crib on the floor. It was a stress-inducing situation, not of Noah, but for his parents. I have to admit that we caved twice and risked waking him up to go and check on him. We left him alone because he is back to not sleeping well and we're experimenting to see if our movements are what are waking him up. Last night he woke up just as much as every other night, but we're going to give it a few more days. Anyway, just in time for my dissertation defense, I am back to sleeping in two-hour shifts. Sub-optimal, but what can you do. I'm going to fully address this sleeping situation once this thesis business is behind me. One thing at a time.
