Can I join in???
Aidan is 3.5 years old, never been one to sleep till 7am (unfortunately!!
) but I was able to deal with the 6 or 6.30am wake-ups. Especially when I was working, as DH and I would be up at 6.30am for work anyway!
We now also have an 11 week old baby, whom thankfully, Aidan adores.
The baby is sleeping like a champ - 7.15pm till 7.30am with no night wakings (touch wood!) just a DF at 10 / 10.30pm.
BUT... I am so tired cause DS#1 has decided to make 5am his new favourite time to wake up! It was SOO dark at 5am today, I was like "you have got to be kidding me!!".
It probably wouldn't be so bad if I could get to bed really early but I have to wait up for the DF. Plus, it would be nice to watch some telly at night with DH that doesn't involve Thomas the Tank Engine!
He is just about ALWAYS naked when I eventually go into him (I usually ignore him for as long as possible HOPING he will go back to sleep) and tells me he wants his "duds on" (clothes). He wears undies during the day but a nappy to bed (which is always full in the morning) and he tells me to put his nappy in the bin.
Could the wet nappy be waking him??
The other thing he does when he wakes is kick the walls with his feet. Really loudly, sometimes.
I am so worried he is going to wake the baby doing this. Not to mention that it is annoying!! His room is really tiny, not much place for the bed except for beside the wall.
I actually convinced him to have a nap today when DS#2 when to sleep so for the first time ever, they are both asleep at the same time!! Of course, I tried to sleep but can't.
I just wish I could sleep till 6 or 6.30am again, as I get so tired looking after them both all day, then waiting up for the DF.
