Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2002. Mattie was one month old and as you can see this was one of his very calm moments. I am happy I took a photo of such a moment, because we really did not have many of them. From an early age Mattie rarely napped. If ever. Sleep did not come naturally to Mattie, which was such an unusual concept to me. I had no idea that some babies had to be taught how to fall asleep on their own without a lot of assistance. However, after eight months without consistent sleep, I finally read Richard Ferber's method on teaching a baby to sleep. Despite my fears of trying it, once I understood the method I have to say it worked beautifully and it brought harmony back into our home. Since we all needed sleep to function.
