Look at this sweet little angel boy:
I think he is trying to kill me.
I don’t know why he would want to do such a thing, since clearly my continued presence on this earth is to his benefit, but the child will not sleep. As a matter of fact, for the past couple of weeks, he’s been waking up so very so sad at about midnight or 12:15…and then again sometime on or before 2:30, and then usually about 5.
I suppose since he is so young, he probably isn’t clued into the fact that I am a terrible sleeper and that his nocturnal nursing parties are keeeeeling me. But really.
I’mabboutadie.
Since he and Joshua share a room, we haven’t been able to Ferber him in awhile. Joshua bunked with Sophie for several months last year while we were trying it out, and I fear we’re going to have to put him back in her room again soon. But the Ferbering has never seemed to stick with Jonah. Blargh.
Well, Sophie started sleeping really well when she was about 15 months old…and Jonah is 13 months…so hopefully I’ve got at least eight weeks of fight left in me! Until then, there’s coffee and Mountain Dew, right?
And at least he’s a cute little killer!
But seriously I’M DYING HERE.
Mother said I was the only one of her children that Daddy walked the floor with to get to sleep…gooooooooooo Jonah!
UP
I think you’re lying! That cute, adorable little guy would NEVER do anything to torture you ;-)! Love you and praying you get some sleep! You know, it kinda makes things a little easier to tolerate during the day.
This is why I couldn’t stay home with my kids! To see their adorable traitorous faces all day after they kept me up half the night, would lead to me packing my bags and moving to Montana. Side note:The switch to the big girl bed has gone pretty smooth, but last night someone did get up in the middle of the night to play with her automatic train that’s shaped like an elephant and trumpets when you press its head. Eventually she will learn to only play with quiet toys at midnight, right?
I think my little girl’s sleeping witch may have just turned on… 3 nights without needing intervention and putting herself to sleep without us in the room. Just in time for the new baby to keep us up!
Welcome to my world! Seriously, it’s awful isn’t it? My son turned 3 in October and he still doesn’t sleep through every night. He woke me up at 3am a couple nights ago yelling that he wanted to eat chips NOW! We did the whole Ferber thing a million times. It would do good for a couple weeks and then back to waking up. Most of the time he doesn’t even say anything, I just walk him back to his bed.
So, good luck to you! I hope it gets better for you!!!
I’m right there with you. Thank God these kids are cute!
Hope you can sleep soon! Does he truly need to eat in the middle of the night? Not judging, just throwing that out there. Hope you find a solution.
