say its not so

Bosten has had the worst time sleeping lately.

He goes to bed just fine...but every.single. night. he wakes up sometime between 1-4am crying his eyes out.  Sometimes he says he's scared, other times he just cries...for about an hour an a half.
We've tried everything...

snuggling him in our bed
rocking him
changing his diaper
giving him a drink

The list goes on and on...we don't know what to do for him, and we don't know how to make him go back to sleep.  One day I didn't let him take a nap to see if that would make a difference.

It worked!  
Hallelujah!

Wait, I'm not ready for him to not take a nap every day.  I love those couple of hours where Kaden and I snuggle or play games or work on learning to read or whatever else we decide we want to do.

The one problem with no nap is that he's either a total bear around 6pm or this happens:


He crashes.  Hard.
Poor kid.

We went through kind of the same thing!! If Cayden didn't take a nap he would fall asleep too early (and then not want to go to bed), but then if he took a nap he would want to stay awake until 10! I just think it takes time to switch from nap to no nap. Hope he adjusts soon:)
