I'm not exactly sure what is up with Parker the last several nights, but he's wanted nothing to do with Jeff putting him to sleep. I'm not sure why he feels so adamant about it, but it has upset Jeff enough that I'm just not going to push it for a little while. I've enjoyed it when Jeff has rock-to-sleep duty, because it gives me a little free time and Parker has often fallen to sleep easier with Jeff rocking him than with me nursing him. I can rock him to sleep as well, but only if he really doesn't care one ay or the other about nursing. I've thought about trying to force the issue, and like this evening, it just sent Parker into a tantrum. I know it will happen when Parker is emotionally and phychologically ready for it, but the days when he seems so much more like a little man than a baby boy it is easy to forget.
