Need. Sleep.
I don't understand why, however we might try, by the time we get E off to bed it's always impossibly late. Today he had an early nap so I thought we'd gotten lucky, but he didn't sleep until
His bedtime used to be around 10, until I stopped work and somehow the nights seemed to become like the lamb chops song - it never ends. I know it's not healthy for kids to be sleeping so late, I really have no idea where to start on bringing it forward. The previous nights we were more relaxed with having him up because we're in the midst of weaning him off his pacifier, so having him all tired out helped him sleep without it. I have to say though, thati miss the paci's ability to help him calm down and settle into bed - we've had to use harsh words and threats just to get him to stay inside his own bed, let alone go to sleep.
And then Little A, who now, close to a month, seems like he needs someone to be around all the time. If we're in my room during the day, he won't sleep soundly unless he's sitting right next to me. Or on my leg if I'm sitting on the bed. We actually have prepared a room just for him ( so he won't wake E up), but we've ended up all sleeping in the same room. For now.
I seriuosly need to dust off Weisbluth's book on sleep habits, and figure out how we can reclaim our lives in the evening, and every day I dream of taking a hypnotist class so that they can drop off to sleep whenever I want, or I can get them todo things that inwant them too :)
But until that day.comes, I seriously need some sleep...
