How did I live without it?

As Ethan entered the mobile phase of life, sleeping became a whole new adventure. It's never been particularly easy, but his mobility meant cute chubby legs stuck in the bars of the crib, pacifiers being thrown across the room, etc. Any time we went in to help him, he only got MAD that we weren't there to take him out of the crib. I started to really struggle with his fussy noises--imagining horrible scenarios in which I should quickly run to his aid. However, as I mentioned before, that only caused more problems. We decided something had to be done about it. We researched video baby monitors, etc, and eventually chose a night vision security camera. It works wonders! :) I have discovered a whole new wealth of knowledge about my child. For instance, I used to think he didn't sleep on his stomach--WAY OFF. I can now say with a surety that he usually does sleep with his bum sticking right up in the air. :) Also, I was deluded in my ideas of how long he napped. The other day I watched for an hour as he (silently) rolled, crawled and played for an hour before going to sleep. So much for those 2-hour naps! :) Most importantly, it's helped us continue some good sleeping behavior which makes everyone in the house happier. I now wonder how I functioned before this miraculous contraption made it into our home.
