House of the rising Sons
Saturday night was not a goodnight !
Julia came over to stay and we all had a nice evening. But at 11.30pm Ben woke up, so I went to sort him out, after I had checked him and knew he was ok, I went back to bed. But it quickly became apparent he was not going to sleep. We left him for an hour but he kept on crying and crying. So in the end I got up and took him downstairs and tried to cuddle with him in the lounge. But he kept on fidgeting and wouldn't settle. In the end he just got up and played on the floor. We had given him something for his teeth, as he is just cutting the last few back teeth now, it must be painful for him. By 3am he was starting to flag and eventually he just lay down on the floor and went to sleep. He didn't want to fall asleep with me on the sofa :-(
At 3.45am he woke again, but within minutes he was fast asleep, again on the floor. He slept on then until about 6am and then woke up.
Harry slept through the whole thing, he was the only one. Carol & Julia didn't get much sleep either.
Ben was pretty quiet once he woke up, he must have been so tired bless him.
I took this photo last Friday, Ben looks so big / grown up in this photo.
Harry sleeps through the nigth really well again now, but his midday sleeps are getting shorter and shorter. This is a natural progression and I guess before long he won't want to sleep at all. The daft thing is when he does wake up, it is usually after about 45 mins, but he is so sleepy and just wants to cuddle. Quite often he falls back to sleep again for another 30 mins or so. This is nice as you get a good snuggle with him. But it does mean during the week I don't really get a break now at midday. I find it hard to get anything done around the house in this 30-45 minute window.
Here is a photo of Harry, having a post sleep, snuggle with Carol on Saturday.
