I have hardly use the blanket on WH. Every night I will put the sleep sack on him instead of cover him with blanket. Lately he has got an interest in using the blanket. In the car, he would request or snatch JS’s blanket and indicate to cover his leg, eventhough the weather is hot.
Playing in the room, he would pull my duvet up to the chest and the fall back head on, on the pillow to sleep. The blanket would land nicely on him after he did so, and he would be happily lying down happy with his attic. Over and over again he would do that. Sit up, pull duvet over chest, fall back head on, giggle. We have 4 pillows and 2 duvets, hence 2 sets of covers, WH would choose a pillow and insist on using the duvet which has got the same cover as the the pillow he has choosen. He prefers our adult pillow than his.
He’s showing sign of sleeping by himself instead of being nursed to sleep. He would still nurse a little, but after a while he would roll over and start playing, talking to his sister or disturb his sister if she’s already asleep. It’s taking longer for him to fall asleep by himself, but it’s a sign of his independent instead of relying on my boobies. It has been 4 nights that he’s fallen asleep by himself.
I think the kids are quite ready to sleep by themself, they no longer need me to lie down beside them. Both of them will lie down side by side, giggle and play and fell asleep after that. Only if we could have a special room for them now, I would take this cue and start letting them sleep in their own room.

It’s good to hear that they can sleep on their own now, without being nursed to sleep.
