for years May has been on a 9pm to 9am sleep schedule and it's been wonderful! i knew my luck was too good to last... this winter she's slowly been ditching her afternoon nap and going to bed at 8pm instead and waking up at 8am. no problem, 8 is reasonable. BUT within the last few weeks shes been waking up earlier and earlier. one day it's 7:30 the next it's 7:15 then 7... but this morning she top them all at 6:30!!! ARGG!!! thankfully my poor hubby, who was sleeping out on the couch because Cam was in bed with me (see below), got her up and let me sleep in a bit more. i'm starting to think that maybe she's waking up because she has to pee. she has been dry most mornings this last week. so i thought i solved everything by putting the potty in her room at night so she can use it (and not wake us up) in the morning.... so far she hasn't, i guess she just doesn't get it.
ever since Cameron started sleeping thru the night at about 3 months old he hasn't once woken up in the middle of the night (a much different story from his sister). that is until last night.... last night i put Camo down to sleep at around 7, about an hour earlier then usual. it was either that or listen to him scream for an hour, which in retrospect might have been a better option. anyway i was expecting his early bedtime to wake him up a bit earlier in the morning but i didn't expect the chaos that would ensue. he woke up crying at 11pm so i scooped him up right away and brought him to bed with me hoping he'd just fall right back to sleep but noooooooooo i wasn't able to get him to fall back asleep until 2am. i tried everything including a diaper change, bottle, lots of rocking, letting him cry for 15 min hoping he'd fall asleep and eventually gave into the idea of giving him some Tylenol at 1am. maybe his teeth are bothering him? i donno.
what in the world is going on here!?!? anyone know if it was a full moon last night?
