It has been a busy busy summer... festivals, fairs, beaches and pool, many birthdays and BBQs... there has been a lot going on in our lives this summer. And as a result, we suspect that Evan isn't getting enough sleep. Haley can sleep through a lot and has the daytime to catch up. Evan hasn't been able to catch up on lost sleep. And as a result, I believe it caused him to wake in the middle of the night. It may have happened because the thunder would shake the house around 2-3am. But it rapidly became a habit for Evan.
And how tiring it became... Evan wakes at 2am and wants to come into our bed. So I go in and lay down on the couch for about a minute... then he goes back to bed. And then Haley would wake about 4-5am to eat. It left me tired and irritable... A couple folks have told me that an overtired child has problems 'unwinding' even while sleeping and will wake at night.
But Sunday night was the first night in MANY nights that Evan slept through the night again. AND last night was the first full night that Haley slept through the night. We've had many nights where she'd wake but would be satisfied by her 'binky' more then food. So her late night feedings have been eliminated!!! I just hope it continues into night 2....
