He did it!!!! (once)

OMG I have to document this as I have all of Julian's firsts....he finally slept through the night (at almost 15 months)!!! He went to bed at 6:30 and got up at 5:30. I, on the other hand, woke up all night long to check him. Every couple of hours I'd wake up, not get up, roll over and look at the monitor and see his stomach rising and falling....phew, he WAS still breathing!!

I don't birth boys who sleep. Manny didn't sleep through the night (without me sleeping on the floor next to him) until almost the end of my pregnancy with Julian. Yes, I slept on the floor 8 months prego.

Now, I just have to figure out why he slept through the night, so we can do it again!!! Sooner is better than later!!! Is he finally "old" enough and ready? Was it the Benadryl that I gave him to help his allergy like symptoms (he's had this before and never slept through the night)? Was it the Tylenol? (he was really irritable and pulling at his ear before bed) Was it a combo of the Benadryl and Tylenol? (I've combined them before) Did he nap well at daycare? Can a child be okay, without side effects having Benadryl and Tylenol every night.....just to try it out to see if it helps him sleeping?? I am SOOOOO joking....I would never give him those 2 meds EVERY night....
