Moving Up

Today was Ryan's first official day in the toddler room at daycare. Not sure if they really do anything different in there than the class he has been in, but we're happy about it.
Ready to go!















Ryan is almost 22 months now and I am thinking this must be a normal age for sleep distubances because he has suddenly made a habit of waking up at midnight and refusing to go back to sleep. We have BARELY had to get up in the middle of the night over the past year! So on the few nights that he did wake up crying, we had gotten so lazy we just brought him into bed with us....thinking nothing of it. Well, the little man must have taken a liking to our bed because now he isn't satisfied until we give in and let him sleep with us. I am not sure I would be too upset about it if he would actually sleep when he does come in our bed! He is usually very restless and rolls around until he decides it is time to wake up at 5 or 6. This has been going on for about a week...and mommy is grouchy when she doesn't get enough sleep, so tonight we begin our mission to break this habit! We have researched some good strategies and hope to have him back to normal in a couple nights.
