I wonder how many posts over the past 3 years I've written about sleep, or the lack there of?!? After Reid went through that crazy two weeks of waking at at 2:00, 3:00 or 4:00am and staying awake, he's back to himself. Sleeps 11-12 hours a night and about 2-3 hours during the day. Ahhh!! He likes sleep just like his mamma! Even when he does wake up, he can stay in there for another hour just lying there or reading books.
Connor, well, he's just like his daddy! Josh woke up at 2:30am for work on Thursday morning and did not go back to sleep until after 1:00am on Friday. He slept for about 4-5 hours then got up once again for work. I don't know he does it, but evidently Connor is a chip off the old block.
Lately he has not been going to sleep until 9-10:00pm, waking up during the night and still getting up around 5:00-6:00am. At night, we do the same ritual we have always done--turn on sound machine, read books and lie with him for a few minutes. That used to work. Lately, as soon as we leave his room, he gets up, turns on the light and sits and reads. We used to go in and turn off the light but it was a fight each time. Now we just let him read until he falls asleep. This lack of sleep is affecting everything, especially his behavior. He's also started waking up during the night and having potty accidents. These are things that we conquered a couple of months ago, or so we thought.
I decided to start taking away his nap, but as you can see, he really needs his naps:
I find him asleep everyday! I only let him sleep for an hour, but that's not helping with bedtime either. Hopefully this is yet another stage and once Mother's Day Out starts things will get better.
