Sleepless in Gainesville
Sleep has been hard to come by lately in our house. With a toddler and an infant I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised. We've slowly been getting adjusted back to normal after the lengthy trips home to see both families. Ruth is finally back to sleeping through the night, however, she is currently not going to sleep until 2 am, so we've got to work on that. Some night she still ends up sleeping with us or in the swing, but we are trying each night to put her down in her bed, and I would say she's sleeping in it about half of the time. She's like Britt in that she wants to sleep either in the corner or up against some kind of stuffed animal. She's improving in her sleeping.Britt on the other hand has gotten worse, and worse about sleeping. Even before we moved, and before he moved into a toddler bed he was waking some in the middle of the night with nightmares. Now however, they have progressed to a nightly ordeal. He throws a fit when we put him to bed, because he's scared of sleeping now. He wakes up usually twice once between midnight and 2 and again between 4 and 6. I think he may be having night terrors, because when we go into his room, he's frantic and throwing himself around, but he's not awake. Gary usually has good luck with waking him up, calming him down, and getting him back to bed the first time. However, we've had no such luck the second time. Britt will scream for well over an hour if we don't go in there, and if you go in to calm him down, and then leave he starts all over again. As a result he has spent the last part of the night for a week now in the bed with us.
