All phases pass.

I keep telling myself this, as it has been true of all the other ones.

Cooper has never been much into rolling over.  He can, and sometimes he does, but not as a mode of transportation or anything.

At night his newest thing is ending up all the way on his tummy in his sleep, and sleeping peacefully for a while like that, then waking up enough to notice that he doesn't like it, or that he wants to pop up on his arms and see what is up, and then screaming until someone finally comes in to flip him over.  And then I just hope and pray that he goes back to sleep.

It happened 5 times last night.  5.

He knows how to flip from front to back, he just won't do it in his crib, so he just screams. 

Momma is so tired.

I hope he figures it out soon.  I've grown used to sleeping for more than an hour at a time again now, and I can't go back there man!!

I bet it won't take more than a couple of days, tops.  But it will feel like a loooong couple of days!

It will pass.  Then it will be the "I can't find the lovey that is right next to me" cries in the middle of the night.

I had to help Emma practice this during the day.  Same with standing to sitting to laying back down.  She just wasn't getting it on her own, during the night, after a week.  I'd make it fun and we'd play flipping back and forth and then later standing to sitting, sitting to laying, over and over and over.  I'd do it in her crib and on the floor in the living room several times throughout the day so it was (I hoped) fresh in her memory going to sleep at night.  Working on it during the day seemed to help her adjust after a couple of days.  You can get through it!!!  Of course, then it will be something else ; )

That is exactly what I told Ms Deb at daycare today, and my mom (tomorrow is Coop's first day of his "part time day care, part time Nana care" trial.)  Get him on his belly, and coax him to flip back and forth, so he "remembers" he can do it.

I hope it works itself out.  I think he is just getting ready to put the wheels on (FINALLY,) and all of the learning to make his body go has him too pumped to sleep.

Fingers crossed!!!
