Loup takes care of himself

Second time I've taken him to the hairdresser; so kewl! 12 euros, it's very quick and no stress!



The lil one is doing well, he's now 17 months old (still counting in months, huh), his top model sizes are 84cm for 14 heavy kilos (love it when I have to carry him 10 times a day to climb the stairs up to my 5th flour!)

He's very awake, aware of what surrounds him, ready to comfort with a concerned cuddle any kid who cries, fighting any who'll take his firemen truck!

Life with Loup is wunnerful, you never get bored, never have the time to get bored anyway ;-)

The only lil thing that is still a pain in the bum, but really, are his nights. He will awake every night, at about 1.00 and will cry till he can join us in our bed.
sigh
We've tried anything including of course letting the lil devil crying in his bed. But he can do that for 60 minutes if he wants! and at 3.00 am, 60 minutes of loud cries are long, VERY long... petty hard to stand. For us, for Lola, for the neighbours too , huh ;-)

I know the only way is to not give up and to let him cry, he will understand.
But it's complicate in a small flat, where the kids sleep in the same room, where the neighbours are not really patient.

Sooo, at the moment, we don't fight much, we take him, he sleeps instantly and WE can sleep. That's the priority for us, sleeping during the night.

And when I think one day my kids will simply sleep too much and I'll be grmmphing to take them out of their bed...!
