As you may recall, my 16-month old son woke up a few times in the middle of the night last week. Well, Thursday and Friday nights went okay and he slept fine. Then last night, he was up again! When I went in his room, he was sitting in his crib, his back to the door, and crying. I changed his wet diaper, gave him some milk and attempted to put him to sleep. He wanted to play, though. After a half hour, I turned on the TV, figuring he would come lay down on the couch next to me and drift off. Well, he started to, until music started playing in the background of the show I was watching, at which time, my son started dancing. Yes, dancing at 3:40 a.m. in the morning. It was both frustrating and cute. Eventually, I put him down (he wasn’t yet asleep) and surprisingly he didn’t scream his head off.
I’m suspecting that he has some gas and tummy issues, given that he has been backed up a few times this week. I gave him bananas the two days he was regular. I don’t think he had bananas yesterday.
Site design, things to come
As you may notice, if you’re not reading this on a feed, I’ve changed up the logo and background a bit. I may tweak it a bit more as I get more comfortable with CSS. I will also be adding some new features to the site, including Eight Questions, a regular series of interviews with other parent bloggers. I have a few lined up which I believe you’ll enjoy reading.
There will be another post following this one shortly.
Yes I am reading this on my reader, or at least I was until I came here to write a reply. Your new design is the dog’s danglies. Really superb. An excellent example of what Thesis can do.
If you’re not already considering it, would you consider having a ‘replies updated via email’ feature? It’s just that I’m inherently lazy. Nothing else. Just lazy.
Bad deal on the night shifts. We’re only just getting to the stage where we can sometimes go a whole night without being disturbed.
We’ve been through the sleep training thing four times now and it’s hell but it pays off in the end, and actually it doesn’t last too long.
Ooh, eight questions. Sounds fun.
