Milestones

It's late and I'm about to head upstairs to go to bed. It's a big night, because Jude put John Patrick down to sleep in his crib tonight for the first time . . . ever. Up until now, he has slept in a Pack & Play at the side or foot of our bed. From now on, presumably, he will be sleeping in his own room every night. Wow.

Damn, what's next? John Patrick starting kindergarten or maybe getting his driver's license? Leaving for college? This is all going by way too fast.

The over/under on how many times I get up during the night and sneak into the nursery to check on him is three, maybe more.
