Hi Rach, thanks!
Nice to 'see' you again!!
Yes, it's so hard to know exactly what to do, because of all the factors involved. Both kids have a chesty, hacking cough now and stuffy nose, so that's added to the mix. I can hear G coughing several times through the night.
He's so tired, poor guy, but just isn't getting very good sleep. His nap yesterday was only 45min and again I couldn't resettle. He does that OT scream and can't settle down to suck his thumb because of the stuffed up nose.
We had our first 5:30pm BT last night. It seemed to do him well, because I didn't hear him til 6:20 this am, but he still struggled with a nap today (I'm wondering if he was up rolling around much earlier as he tends to do that). I'm currently sitting in the rocking chair with him snoring on me.
Got him back to sleep after he woke, but couldn't get him back down. Haven't done this in so long, I'm loving the cuddle.
LOL at the fight about books. G is loving a Clifford bedtime one we checked out from the library. I'm almost afraid to return it, because he'll be lost without it. Maybe it'll be a little Valentine surprise for him.
Glad you are through the worst of it. If S is getting her 2yrs, I hope they come through quick!
