1. I fell asleep without a baby/toddler gnawing on my boob.
2. My sleep was not punctuated with sleepy but persistent pleas for nen-nen.
3. The sleep-deprived hubby snapped at me for being honest about not sleeping well. "I sacrificed my sleep for you, the least you could do is tell me it was worth it." How the tables have turned, heh.
4. The hubby physically understands why I get so irritable when Jayden refuses to sleep/wakes up constantly throughout the night.
On a serious note, I could not have started this (sort-of) sleep training without the hubby's cooperation. It is so true - both parents need to be in agreement when it comes to how they want to raise/discipline/love the child.
Being parents have changed us forever, and no doubt there has been some highs and some lows. But I'm always grateful that the hubby is such a hands-on dad, who takes part in our child's life in such a present manner. Although that could sometimes mean more iPad/cartoon time for Jayden than I'd have liked, the dad has taught him so many things without my knowledge. He taught him how to throw his own diapers, how to kick his mini football, how to address his uh, ku-ku bird...
Seeing the hubby's satisfied smile whenever our son displays his understanding/obedience just makes my heart swell with pride and joy.
