The Sleeping Habits of a Little Man: BOO

January 26, 2010 By Lena

Just when you think you’re in a routine, and nothing can stop you – BAM! Your little one decides to throw you for a loop.

Of course, all the experienced parents are reading this, laughing, and saying, “Um, yeah, Lena, what did you expect?” Well, to put it mildly, I expected 7 freakin’ hours of uninterrupted sleep!

Oh my, mommies are testy when they’re thrown for a loop.

So for the past few days, Ryder has decided that he does not want to go to be a minute before 10pm (which is contrary to his usual 8:30pm bedtime), wakes up at least twice during the night wanting to “down” (go downstairs and play), “up” (be held in my arms), or “zee” (have a freezie) – AND, wakes up at the ungodly hour of 6:00am and demands milk, cheerios and a wide eyed, fresh faced mommy to skip along with him and start the day. Tra la la la la.

Well, there are three things I can do. I can cut down on his afternoon nap, so he feels tired sooner (wake up sweetie! um, now!), I can assuredly let him know in the middle of the night that it’s time to sleep (Freezie? Hell no! Go to sleep you sissy!), and I can do my best to start the day with him, ready for fun and adventure (he’s amusing himself with Mega Blocks while I blog this).

So in the time it would have taken me to post some hot deals, I’m ranting instead. Will. blog. later. today. Stay. tuned.

    Argh! I hate when they decide to change their schedule without prior notice. Fingers crossed he'll go back to his regular routine.

    They are always doing something to keep you on your toes!! Good luck getting things back into some kind of schedule!

    Thanks ladies! As you can see – no blogging today, which means he tormented me all day :)
