Oh and DH and I talked about tired signs as I think we interpret her activities differently, ie jerky physical movement doesn't equal I want to play now daddy
My DH thinks swinging a rattle in front of DS's face is a good response to DS rubbing his eyes

Great thread, timely for us cause DS currently won't settle unless he's in my arms, one hand gripping my shirt but we're going with the flow as much as we can. The ladies in my MG are all reporting that their LOs are struggling to settle too, so I figure it's developmental.
