I have been a bad blogger but this post is the reason why. Mike and I have been starved for sleep. Not extra sleep or sleeping in but just normal work day sleep. For whatever reason, Wyatt has decided that for the past two weeks that he cannot sleep throughout the night. We spend almost two hours every night with him awake. It started happening when he was came down with a cold but it has continued even though the cold has gotten much better. We tried putting him to bed earlier, putting him to bed later, giving him a "night" version of his cold medicine, and good old-fashioned crying it out.
This morning I was awakened at 4:45am to a screaming child. Since I don't have school today I just went ahead and brought him to bed with me. Mike was already up and getting ready for work so it was just Wyatt and I in bed. Wyatt doesn't really sleep with us, ever, and so he's not accustomed to sleeping with others and so he tosses and turns the whole time he's in bed with us. Well after an hour of crying and whining we just got up.
Hopefully this is just a phase and he will get out of this stage, very soon!! We are all tired and would love seven-hours of uninterrupted sleep. Fingers crossed.
