Sleep Regression

Sleep regression is not cool. Zeland up until the last few weeks has been sleeping great. Going to bed at the latest 8:00pm and waking around 7:30am plus taking at least on nap a day possibly two. All the sudden he screams when we put him to bed for bed time and naps. Wakes up an hour later screaming and I literally mean screaming like someone is hurting him screaming. Let me just say how jarring it is to be woken up by a kid screaming bloody murder in the middle of the night. Not ok. The last couple nights I have let him sleep in our room just out of sheer exhaustion. Not caring where he sleeps just as long as he sleeps, but him sleeping with us isn't working either. He is restless all night. Andrew and I are getting little to no sleep. At first I thought maybe he was teething or maybe had a bad dream. We have tried rocking, patting, Drugging (Tylenol), cuddling, pleading, crying (me not Zeland), putting him to bed earlier and later, cutting down how long he is napping and nothing seems to be helping in fact some of these things are probably just creating new bad habits. Tonight we are going to just be hard core and stick with all bed time routines and under no circumstances let Zeland back in our bed. These next few night are not going to be fun. Wish us luck!!

Lookin pretty cute NOT sleeping.
