There are moments when we really should just be still and wait. I am often not good at that part of parenting. I am not good with allowing things to just follow the path that they need to go without trying to change the speed or direction. Levi is back to sleeping on his own and will go to sleep happily and without stress almost immediately. Such a change from three weeks ago when I was pulling my hair out stressing about Levi's sleeping, or not sleeping, more specifically. The dragon made a difference but the biggest change was just time.
Time for him to work out how to go to sleep by himself
Time for him to remember the logic
Time to reconcile his imagination with reality
Time for me to just let him be and work it out for himself
I am so happy that he did work it out. I am grateful that he did it quickly! I can be still and let him find his own way but I am not very patient. He still has asthma that comes at night but it has also settled down a little in the last couple of days. I went nutso about cleaning the dust after the egg hunt in the hope that it would improve it and I think that it worked, a little. I even vacuumed his mattress. Yes, I know, but I already admitted that I went nutso with the cleaning. I hope that it has the desired affect at least!
