Okay, so I'm only kidding, but THIS little boy is giving us much grief these days...well, really nights!
Easton has ALWAYS been a terrible sleeper. Let's face it, he actually didn't even start sleeping through the night til he was close to two! The past week he has been HORRIBLE during the night. He wakes up crying off and on all through the night. He will only stop if you lay in bed with him. And even then he tosses and turns endlessly. And if you think he's good and asleep and slip out quietly, nope...he starts calling for "mama" again! Ugh. Will and I are at wits end.
Yesterday he didn't take a nap, or should I say, wouldn't take a nap. And this after he had a terrible nights sleep. So I let the nap slip by and figured he'd crash early. Ya right! Easton is seriously the energizer bunny. I made Will take Easton for a drive in the car around 8:30 last night since he was driving me crazy and I knew he was just tired. That worked......UNTIL he got him home and in bed.....UP again! Are you serious?? Then, Christian, Will's cousin was in town for the night and came by after his performance was over at 9:30 to spend the night with us. Let's just say Easton was STILL going strong after 11pm last night....and remember no nap either! I finally forced him in bed at that point.
Well, last night he was up continually off and on AGAIN! We had even given him motrin before bed in case he had some type of pain we are unaware of. I ended up half the night in his bed...only because he'd keep crying until one of us went in with him. And who wants a baby awake with a 2 year old? Mady is a much better sleeper than Easton already!
Soooooo, who wants Easton shipped their way???????

You poor thing! How frustrating,sleep is just not this boys thing...You can send him my way anytime :)
my easton does the same thing but he is 4 and a half!! when does it end?? in fact max is sleeping in easton's bed right now! also brinlee ended up in my bed last night! we all play musical beds!! seriously-- its never ending--:(
Sounds like you need super nanny!! haha I guess I'm just a mean mom because I make them cry themselves back to sleep. They eventually get it and don't wake up anymore. Just have everyone wear ear plugs so he doesn't wake them up! Worth a try.
Gave him motrin because you didn't know if he had pain :) I would have drugged my kids regardless. As Sandy Smith about some herbal pills that make kids sleepy. She said it helps when Karly is having a hard time sleeping.
Ask not As
I would take him but I don't sleep well as it is, and Easton would probably not survive a grumpy, non sleeping pregnant woman.

Ugh! That is so frustrating! I don't function well without my sleep.
That stinks!!
I have no suggestions, my 3 year old, almost 4 year old sometimes still gets up and I don't know what to do. Maybe your pediatrician has some answers. good luck!
Oh send that little guy my way! He is just too cute! It would be good to have him around. He could give my 3 year old a run for his money...
Good luck. He is so cute!!!
I am glad my little (almost) 2 year old isn't the only one not sleeping! We should call each other because I am up too!
