El Burrito has napped in his crib every day this week. Knock wood. Still not sleeping there at night, and over the weekend would only nap in the playpen. Not sure if it's a separation thing, being over-tired, or if he's just figured out that if he squalls himself hoarse for 45 minutes, he'll get to sleep in his playpen in our room. Like that's any more fun than a crib, but who knows how his mind works.
Of course, he played in his crib for most of an hour before finally conking out today. Which put it close to the time he might have been getting hungry again. We may need to tweak the schedule, and stick a snack in before naptime. I think he sleeps a bit better on a semi-full tummy.
We also discovered last week that El Burrito is a cribber (in the horsey sense). DH was getting him out of the crib, and noticed that he'd gnawed pretty heavily on the top rails at the end of the crib, which are of course the ones without the plastic teething rails. The ends of the crib are round rails (it's a Jenny Lind style crib), and when he's in one of his squalling fits, he also gums the end rail. He's only got two teeth, but he'd done some interesting things to the wood. The problem is fixed now - we folded two of his flannel receiving blankets and wrapped them around the rails with zip ties. That should fix the problem, since he only really does it when he's mad.
