Alternate Blog Title: Kid For Sale! (Good Lord, I hope you know I'm kidding.)
Charlotte is over the little hissy-fits-at-bedtime thing. She's back to her normal, pleasant self, and can put herself to sleep largely unassisted.
Gavin, my dear Gavin....he has been another story from the start. This kid can't seem to stick to one pattern or schedule to save his life. For a while, back in October, he was waking once a night, usually at 5am, and just wanted to be held and talked to, and he'd nod back off until about 7am. These days, I never know when he's going to get up, but I can guarantee it's going to be many times a night. And he WILL NOT go back to sleep unless I intervene. Believe me, I've tried the whole ignoring thing. It keeps Charlotte awake, so I'm considering moving his crib to a different room, but that would require disassembling the entire thing. I'm thinking about putting him in the Pack and Play in my room for a few nights to see if we can't get this thing straightened out.
I'm at a loss. Between that and the whole my-babies-don't-nap thing, Michael and I have had some very unpleasant evenings lately.
that stinks. My three year old didn't sleep through the night until 6 months ago. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think the idea of moving the crib is a good one. I wouldn't do the pack and play because if he finally gets quiet in your room your going to have to start over when he goes back to his own room. Just my thoughts........but I would give him his own room. Maybe Charlotte is keeping him up at night talking about ponies, vanities, make up, and princesses. He might want a break from it all!
