Last night my sweet little boy just about drove me over the edge. Since he was born we have been so blessed to have him go to bed easily and sleep through the night, so I really am in no place to complain. But after being so spoiled for 18 months, nighttime issues drive me crazy.
I tried three times to put Lijah to sleep last night. Each time he would be asleep in my arms, and even snoring...but then as soon as I laid him down he would pop back up and start crying. So we kept him up for awhile longer since he was apparently not ready for bed. Finally at 10:30pm, daddy tried to work his magic, but with the same result. Finally we decided that Lijah would sleep next to me. He was sleepy in my arms and snuggled up with me. Then after about 3 minutes he popped up again, ran to the end of the bed, and started pulling all of the laundry out of the basket next to the bed and piled them on top of me. Then he saw the cat...and it was all over from there....
Daddy gave it a second try and finally, at almost midnight, Lijah went to sleep. Let's hope this does not become a regular occurance.......maybe it is just his teeth - he is getting a few more - I'm crossing my fingers that that is it.....

I'm SO sorry! If you ever need someone to talk to about sleeping woes, I'm right here with lots of horrible anecdotes and not much advice! Good luck!
I haven't checked, but maybe there is a full moon... Ethan has been doing the exact same thing with his naps and once with bedtime! Yikes! I sympathize! It's no fun.
Lijah... go to sleep for mommy and daddy! And tell Ethan to sleep too!
He he he
