My Kid = Weird

Okay, so, for the past two weeks or so I've been working from home alot, which has freed Tarri up to nap (and take my car to work, helping us keep the mileage down on her leasemobile), but has left me with The Toddler for about 12.5 hours a day. I can count on him to sleep--sort of--for about five of those, but that's been getting complicated.

See, I'll put him down for a nap around 3. He'll fuss for maybe ten minutes, then be asleep. Around four-fifteen (like clockwork) he'll start crying again. Won't be awake, but he'll be crying. Depending on the intensity, I can either just ride it out, or pick him up and rock him back to sleep, or just get him up. If I don't just get him up, he'll then wake up any time between 5 and 6 screaming his damn fool head off. Nothing is wrong, he just wakes up screaming. And he's impossible to comfort for anywhere between the next ten and sixty minutes.

So then, when 9 rolls around and I put him into bed, he goes quite peceably and without any fuss, but then doesn't actually go to sleep for another sixty to ninety minutes.

If I don't give him a nap, he starts to fall asleep in his Mac 'n' Cheese around 5:30-6.

Did I mention we're having another one?
