Momma's Boy

This week has been a little tough because Brandon has wanted his Mommy to put him to sleep every night, in other words, he wanted to be breastfed to calm down. But last night, Ashley had a concert in Amsterdam and would not be home to put Brandon to sleep. That's where Daddy comes in. But during the week, whenever I tried to calm him down, he would just cry so hard that he would almost choke. And as soon as I handed him to Ashley, he calms down (talk about your ultimate self esteem killer).
Last night went great though. He had one freak out after his afternoon nap. The butler (a.k.a. me) didn't have his post-nap snack ready immediately after he woke up. He cried pretty hard but once I got him his food, he calmed down. He was great for the rest of the night. We even did bath time together, which is tough with only 2 hands and 1 wet, soapy, wriggly baby. And most importantly, he fell right asleep for me when it was bedtime.
Ashley was worried she was going to come home to a screaming baby and Brandon was going to be upset too but everything was quiet. Maybe this phase of wanting Mommy is passing.

It's good to be king
