*sigh*
Well, it was bound to happen and there are those who will say I jinxed myself…
Nik was awake from midnight until two this morning. PLAYING.
It wasn’t exactly the blissful night’s sleep I envisioned when I wrote this post. Still, it wasn’t his usual thrashing, kicking, screaming middle-of-the-night melodrama either. And I didn’t even have to sit with him! I simply promised him I’d be here in the morning and he let me go —with something akin to ease.
I’d call that progress in a strange sort of way. While it was an amusing two hours —replete with serenades of laughter, clapping, and songs —it was nice to finally drift off to sleep listening to the quiet stillness of the house.
I have to wonder how much of last night’s play-fest was driven by the fact that we never got out of the house due to the weather; Nik didn’t get nearly enough gross motor activity yesterday. The sun is shining today and I’m going to try to get Nik to the park at some point to burn off some of his energy.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

LOVE that quote. Hey, if he’s not sleeping, at least he’s happy awake instead of being distressed! 🙂 Hope you get a little more sleep…
Bummer. But at least he was happy. I have my fingers crossed that the park will make him sleep those 12 1/2 hours for you again!
Oy. You’re like a longshoreman.
Poor you. I hope he figures this out soon.
When I think of all the nights I lay awake listening to Patrick play….*sigh* sleep issues are tough.
I hope you get some sleep soon. Physical activity definately makes a big difference here too.
Well, at least he was happy and kept himself occupied!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys.
Ahhhh! Well, it is still progress. Will be sending prayers!
My guy was up from 1:30 am til’ 3:00 am scratching his eczema. What fun!
Hope you caught up on sleep
