When my oldest was about that age I used to put him in the baby seat on the back of my bicycle and go for a ride. We would never get very far before I would feel his head fall against my back and he would be out like a light. Must have been a combination of the fresh air and the movement of the bike. I can certainly empathise with your friend because Matthew never developed a steady night sleeping pattern till he was about three. My back has never been the same lugging him around and rocking him. Now he is a grand boy of 13 and likes to sleep-in on weekends oh how the times change. Den
