Jonah - Jonah started this thing where he'll wake up 45 minutes after being put to bed. Then he'll want to be nursed back to sleep. Then he would wake up a second time immediately after being put down and want to be nursed again. Usually he'd sleep after that for about four hours, but then he'd wake up a couple more times after that. Ug. And naps became a predictable 45 minutes, but he would take 4 or 5 of them in one day.
I felt like I was being had at night, especially because he would nurse about two sips and then go back to bed. So to fix all his night issues, we started the sleep lady stuff. Tonight is the second night, and so far so good. Last night was bad so hopefully that was the worst of it. His naps were great today so hopefully if the night gets sorted out, his naps will too. He's a smart kid. He'll get it. Tobey got it by night 3 so I think Jonah will too.
Tobey - Now he is the more difficult one. He's doing great in his bed at night, but he is no longer napping and is miserable by about 4pm everyday. He doesn't leave his room, which is good, but he's all over his room going crazy. I tried to put him back in bed every time he got out, but with Jonah to take care of, that was nearly impossible. I'm thinking about putting him in his pack 'n play and see what he does.
Here is a picture of exhausted Tobey at dinner the other night:
We'll get it figured out. We always do. I feel sorry for the kid. It's been a rough couple of months and not taking naps is making it even harder. I'm starting to brace myself for the terrible three's!
