I must always check on Chase shortly after he falls asleep for bed or for a nap. Why, you ask? Well, to give me peace of mind, and to keep him alive. This may sound a little dramatic, but read on to believe.
— A few days ago, he fell asleep with the side of his face against the edge of the bed. When I moved him, he had a huge dent in the side of his face that looked deep and painful. But that’s not the worst one, so read on…
–Yesterday it was very difficult to get him down for his nap, and I had to put him back in his bed approximately 50 times before he went to sleep. That last time he demanded to stay on the floor rather than the bed, and I let him do so because I was past the point of caring. So he didn’t fall asleep in his bed; he fell asleep across the floor vent with his head partly on a board book and partly on the wood floor. Imagine the lines he had on his face and arms…
— Then today, I checked on him about 20 minutes into his nap, and he was lying sideways across the bed, with a thick blanket wrapped around his head. I was relieved to find that he was somehow still breathing!
All in all a little disturbing, but I’m always glad when he actually DOES get some sleep!
