Well, we finally got a nice late wake up this am....thanks to a 2 hour crib party last night!! Ok, so it didn't start off as a party..i'll rewind back to 5pm, during his hour long crying meltdown, i suspected teething pain and gave him 8 hour motrin. I figured if pain was in fact the culprit, then this dose would run it's course around 12-1am (the box says 6-8 hour)...well, wouldn't you know it, at 12:45am we're woken to the sound of blood curling screaming coming from Caleb's room...it was so alarming that I actually ran to his room. He was inconsolable, i couldn't get him to calm down at all....gave him another dose of motrin and dabbed a bit of teething gel on his gums....absolute silence!!! I rocked him a bit and then put him down...he played for almost 2 hours and then slept till 8:15am. So, i guess it's safe to say that he's going through some major teething...and since it's his first tooth coming out, i'm assuming it's harder on him. Given the fact that there are sooooo many more teeth to come, is this what the next year is going to be like??
Jo, yes he can do long afternoons if he's had a super good nap (2hr+). I stretched him out to 5 hours A time today and he slept for 1h45, so not bad, and then another 5 hours to bedtime, no problem. I think i'm slowly going to wean the 2 nap days, i think they're just messing him up more than anything really...he ends up getting too much day sleep, A times aren't long enough and then we get ridiculous EW's and way too short nights.
