putting caleb to sleep

(pictures taken using my handphone)

During the late afternoon, the sun was finally up after a wet, rainy morning. So, I sun bathed Caleb. Here is a picture of him just after sunbathing.I was the one who took this picture as my handphone had a feature where I can take myself by switching the camera lens.



Since he was wide awake and refused to sleep, Vicky and I brought him down to the park to get some sunlight and to look at things around him. Here is Caleb in the park.



One amazing thing we saw when we went to the park was that there were quite a number of people cleaning up the park and these people are like regular folks, including kids. Some were trimming the plants, some sweeping the park and others, loosening the soil of the plants..etc.



Here are some kids just finished with raking the leaves and cleaning



I spotted the tools here where they leave it for residents to help out.So, it was rather pleasant to see residents keeping the park clean and tidy.



We took Caleb to the playground and he didnt like it. We place him on the rocking animal but he started crying.We placed him on the bottom of the slide to sit down, he also started crying. Haha..That is why at this age, we wished they would grow up so that we can play with them.



Shortly after, Caleb fell asleep because of the nice breeze. So, I thought, each time we bring him here, he would fall asleep. So, this is one great method to make him fall asleep if we have ran out of ideas.



I also rem CT said before that his friend actually drove the kid in the car to make him fall asleep as kids love to sleep in the car. When he said that, I recall how often I sleep in the car too when I was young..and really enjoyed it. Do you rem your sleeping days in the car too?

yea, this is quite normal.Some ways I feel Caleb sleeps better is when there is a nice breeze. I would switch on the fan or like I say in the blog, bring him down to the park when it is cool and breezy. The other thing is, they would sleep better if they drink some milk. So, I do that sometimes too just to make him fall asleep. Or play some soothing baby music. I try to make him fall asleep by himself if not, it can be a bad habit in future, then your hands will be more tiring cos he would grow heavier.So, if you see him yawn and not making any sound, I just put him down and switch on the fan.
