Yesterday I was overwhelmed with the minutia of everyday life and getting three kids dinner while River was overtired and ready for bed. I kept trying to put him down to sleep in his bassinet. Each time I did, he would start screaming a second later, so I would pick him up and rock him again. I ended up putting him in my sling until my bedtime. He co-sleeps with us and I was really hoping to get a little solo-sleep by putting him in the bassinet. I put him on the bed for a minute to get the sheets changed on the bassinet and I saw him, eyes closed, little hands just reaching out, searching for someone to connect with. Baby Zen #1: Sleeping is just more peaceful when you can feel someone else's heartbeat.
