i thought we had cracked the nw's......uughh!!

[finlays mam]

what and where have we gone wrong???  Finlay started to sleep thru at 16 months old..it was a hard slog.  He's now 18 months and they've started again...with a little help from AP .....bringing him into our bed...well actually it's dh's fault coz he did it first when i was on nights and then it reinforced it the following night coz i was sooo tired after only getting 2 hours sleep in about 30 hours ......sooo..(sigh) i don't want this to continue.  He's waking at approx 0230 -0330 and cries out for me.  I've tried just going in to pop in his dummy but he's then clicked on to the fact i'm there....am i making sense, feel totally shattered tonight as we were up with the little monster from 0330 and he wouldn't go back to sleep!! .....

thanks....we're off to bed now and early night....to catch up on the zzzzz's...how times have changed!!

Oh Debbie    what's his current routine? I assume he's on one nap?

[finlays mam]

oh hello lovely lady...

Yeah, we're on one nap, usually 1.5 - 2hours from 12-2pm.  I have to admit, he was ok last night, well he woke up twice and cried but admittedly, i didn't rush in and he did settle down after a couple of minutes.  Maybe thats how i need to approach this, not to rush in.

anyhow, how's your gorgeous boy?  Probably as cute and funny as ever   I see you bobbing around keeping busy

Then try not going in right away and see if he resettles 

Oh yes, Colin is definitely something. Let me tell you about this recent conversation we had:

C: (out of the blue) "Mommy I'm the BOSS!"
Me:        then "Honey, I'm sorry but no you are not the boss. And how do you know what a boss is anyway?"
C: "I'm the boss of DADDY!"
Me, LMAO: "No honey, you are definitely not the boss of Daddy!"
C: "I'm the boss of MOMMY!"
Me: "Nope sorry honey. Mommy and Daddy are the boss of you so that we can keep you safe."
C: "I'm the boss of......."
Me: "How about if you are the boss of Sasha and Allie (our cats)?"
C: "I'M THE BOSS OF SASHA AND ALLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  that's hilarious Jess, what an absolute character he is!!  Where do they get it from?

Fin is so cheeky too....he now babbles to me in his 'talk' which is both hilarious and vey cute but he does this with his head cocked to one side and then says..'yes?' like he's in charge ...he's obviously copying his mammy!!

...on the sleep note...he didn't stir last night........alleluhuh!!! (ssssssshhhhhh)

Where do they get it from?
