Sssshhhhhhsss

I just spent 2 and half hours reading a book and a magazine and playing with my camera. I got snacks and a drink and just sat. The I went and got my lunch. I've just browsed stamps on ebay and now I'm writing this. The first 2 and a half hours I spent in the bedroom keeping half an eye on Will sleeping...

42 minutes into it he woke with a start holy cow when he wakes up it's whoa to go. 10 minutes to resettle him quiet shushing and patting his chest. NO eye contact.

Approx 42 minutes later- startle wake- shush, pat almost instantaneous sleep... not as settled though at first.

Then 50 odd minutes into that some stirring and a more patting. Then when he was quite settled I realised I could go as I don't mind if he wakes up now.

Tips....make sure that...
... the room is warm.
... you have a drink.
... the chair is comfy.
... you can put your feet up.
... you have enough snacks.
... the chair doesn't make a weird noise when you get up.
... you make no eye contact, it's fatal.
... you have a pillow to rest your patting arm on... it will get tired.

Now I am off to check the mail there's something interesting down there... oh and yeah one more tip don't wear your noisy shoes into the bedroom... you may need them later.
