It kind of sounds like me in my early 20's before hitting the town for the night. (circle of life I guess).
The toughest part is no matter how frustrated we get, he's so damn cute we cannot do anything but let him run the show. I will say we are trying to adjust and adapt by letting him put himself to bed a bit more. It hasn't been too effective yet, but he is starting to recognize when it's time to wind down for the evening.
I know sounds are a big part of bedtime, but for Wyatt, I almost think we need MORE noise. When we turn the TV way down and dim the lights, he gets more wound up. Whereas if we just go about our business making noise, banging plates, etc... he falls asleep faster. Go figure!
Anyhow, Happy New Year to all! I hope everyone has a great upcoming year. Here's to health happiness and family!
Happy New Year, guys! I'm glad WVL is sleeping for y'all, even if his bedtime is a little later!
ReplyDeleteI lol'ed about how he's so cute that you can't be mad! Todd and I say that about Evie all the time, she's lucky she's cute! =) Evie used to sleep late, too, but settled in to her own schedule even before she started daycare at 6 months. And once we started daycare and we started having to wake her up in the mornings, she became more reliable, going down between 7 and 8. And now, I find myself wishing she stayed up later because we hardly get any time with her on weeknights. I guess I'll always have something to complain about. =) Love that last picture of the three of you!! (I love the Rock N Play!)
ReplyDeleteHey Jennifer! thanks for the comments! that rock n play has been our savior! it has been Wyatt's bed for a few months now. He's growing out of it so we are trying to teach him that the crib is better :) its crazy how big our babies are getting and how fast!
