SLEEP!

Well, this past week has been a little out of the ordinary.
Tuesday night, Drew only slept from 12:00-0300 AM.
It was a hard night for everyone. It wasn't that he just wouldn't sleep- but rather that he screamed and cried and there was no way to console him. Tim and I took turns, but it really didn't matter because those screams were loud.

So, we go see his doctor get some medicine and he sleeps from 4 PM till 6:30 PM. Wakes up, eats, hangs and is ready for bed. Goes down at 8 PM. Sleeps till 7 PM. I'm thinking things are back to normal.
I put him down for his morning nap around 9:15 AM. He sleeps till 1. That is almost 4 hours.

I thought, let him sleep- he is really sick.

BAD IDEA!

Because after that nap my son felt invincible. He was like, "No, mom- I don't need to sleep ever again!"

• He did NOT take an afternoon nap.
• He did NOT go to bed early.
• He did NOT go to bed at a reasonable time.

He did stay up in his crib till 9:15.

So then I'm thinking, he is going to sleep late.

Wrong again. Up at 5:30 AM. I give him his medicine and milk. I am hoping he will go back to sleep. But my little boy is ready for some fun. So, I set the room up so he can play and I lay on the floor. I watching him while I also inspect the inside of my eyelids. This went on for about 30 minutes. All the while, I am worried that he might slam a block on my face. So I keep peeking and checking on him...and then it happened.

In the middle of a room full of toys, Drew layed down, sucked his thumb and went to sleep.

As soon as I saw this, I scooped him up and put him in his crib. I walked out and went back to bed.

Fortunately he slept till 9.

So we will see what happens today with naps. He looks tired but I am learning that doesn't mean anything.
