Precious Sleep
What I wouldn't give for a full night's sleep these days.
Just when Cub was finally sleeping through the night, he hit the milestone of being able to pull himself up in his crib, though not the milestone of being able to get down by himself. Saturday night, no exaggeration, I must have gone into his room to get him down at least 20 times. It wouldn't be so bad if it were at the beginning of the night and then he eventually fell asleep and slept all night. No, he waited until I was sleeping and kept doing it all night long. I usually let my kids cry it out when they woke up as babies, but I can't do that if Cub is genuinely stuck.
Thankfully, he didn't get stuck last night. Instead, he kept waking up with what I believe is teething pain.
Around 4 am, Monkey woke up, yelling that he needed to go potty. Why he couldn't just get up and go is beyond me. He doesn't require my assistance during the day. But, I guess he wanted company at that hour.
Bear snuck into my spot in bed around 6 am, when I was in Cub's room, trying to get him back to sleep.
The Hubs, well, he sleeps through all of this, not even a pause in his snoring.
Gone are the days when I could hope for all three boys to take a nap at the same time, since Monkey will only nap if we do something extremely strenuous in the morning, like walk around the zoo three times(no, once is not enough to wear him out, despite the fact that it's a big zoo that we often go to).
I feel guilty that I'm fantasizing about going to sleep tonight already and it's just 8 am.
