While I’ve said I’m not quite in blogging mode, today warrants a special entry. Well, technically it was yesterday, since I’m writing this at 12:25 am.

A bouncy chair has been a critical part of our sleeping routine for over 3 years. So much so that Oma and Papa even designed and fabricated a special oversized bouncy chair when the boys really outgrew the biggest mass-produced one we could find.

Today, I put the oversized custom bouncy chair away in the back of a closet and the boys didn’t even notice.

There’s quite a bit to this story if you’re not filled in. If you want some of the history on this, you might want to read this post. A lot has changed since the, including the fact that we took a leap of faith and moved out of  Papa and Oma’s house last September. If you’re feeling ambitious you might even browse through some of my posts under the sleep category. There’s quite a few…

A couple of weeks ago, we made a big change in our sleep routine, and it’s going really well. One result from this is that it elimated the final piece of the routine that relied on Bear using the bouncy chair. So it hasn’t been used for a couple of weeks and I decided to put it away and see what happened. Even though the boys went into Bear’s room to play shortly after the change, it didn’t occur to them it was gone.

I tell ya, every day is a miracle around here. Sometimes a really loud, annoying miracle — but a miracle nonetheless.

I’ll write more detail about the sleep routine changes another day.

Good night, bouncy chair. Good night, boys. Good night, readers. Good night, Mommy. Good night.
