I was going to write a post, but this is the second night in a row that Kate will not sleep. No time alone = no time to write. She’s not crying or screaming… she’s WIDE AWAKE. Even when I cajole and nurse her to sleep and tiptoe away, she fidgets and wakes up less than 30 minutes later. Last night that’s how it was all night long. All. Night. Long. Every 30 minutes, just as I was finally dozing off, she’s wake up again. And she was up and playing from 4 to 6am, just rolling around and making noise.<\/p>\n
It is currently 12:45am. Kate is playing on the floor, happy as a clam. Well, she whines at me every once in a while, but it’s a “Come join me!” whine, not a “I’m so tired!” whine. I don’t have the fortitude for another night of waking every 30 minutes so I’m trying to let her tire herself out before we go to bed. I stuck her in her jumper and wrapped christmas presents while she whined at me. Me, being a bratty parent, said, “Oh, I’m sorry, are you bored? This is mama wrapping presents. YOU are supposed to be sleeping. Instead you are awake, watching me wrap presents. If it’s so boring maybe you should go to bed.”<\/p>\n
No idea what’s up with this. She’s never done this, ever. There have been nights of crying, yes. And there have been nights of fidgeting and frequent wake-ups. But only when sick, not just “to play.” Blah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
