Stuck

Wyeth is the most ridiculous sleeper I've known. Seren at 8 months was sleeping through the night from 8 pm through 6 am for two months. Wyeth is not. I know that each kid is different and certainly the fact that I have two to put to bed each night- at typically the same time- does not help. This means that Wyeth is the second to go down and sometimes goes down too late and is overly tired.

Anyway. Last night, like the Sunday before, was hell. He was up for two hours and then back up two hours later. What? Why? And I do everything 'wrong' on nights like these. I am not consistent. I am just tired. I let him cry. Then go to him. Then sometimes nurse him (he won't take the paci from me anymore). Ugh.

But we have a new wrinkle. He is stuck sitting up. He figured out how to push himself up on all fours then sit up by himself. We saw him do it this morning- and it is impressive. But then he has no idea how to lay himself back down. The poor little dude just kept crying and crying because he was stuck sitting up!

How can I try to teach him to lay back down?

I remember that Seren did have some night waking when she learned to stand and walk. She needed to 'practice' the new skill all night. So I imagine that some of this is happening now with my Wy-guy. I swear if it isn't a cold or a cough or a fever or a new tooth it is sitting or learning to walk or scoot.

But he is so cute! We'll figure it out- in a year or two. :)
