Last night was a hard one for Gilbert. Everything was going as usual; good eats at dinner, fun time in the bath tub, and a nice slow down heading into bed.
However, come 8:30 he was up and crying profusely. Kristen made two separate attempts to get him to go back down, but he did not want to be in his crib let alone his room.
Drastic times call for drastic measures. We shut down the house, got it completely dark and just curled up as a family on the sofa hoping to calm down his crying and get him to fall asleep.
And tired he was, but Little Man was fighting sleep hard. Constantly rubbing his eyes, he'd refuse to lay back in our laps. However, sitting up he was gently swaying from side to side. Not making much progress, we went to bed together. Slowly he started to fall asleep, but then popped back up.
Finally, we just put him back in bed, crying, and at 10:30 Gilbert gave in to sleep. He awoke one more time, but quickly fell back into his slumber.
He woke up this morning an hour later than usual and as his typical fun self. We'll see how the day progresses.
Weird night.

ear infection? Sometimes if they have one it hurts to lie down. Or teeth- one year molars? Could have same effect. Hope he gets better ans more sleep for everyone. But jsut think I was probably up too feeding Ms Darby!
Ms. Darby may be onto something---ear infection? I certainly hope not. Don't you wish they could just tell us what's wrong! Hang in there Gilbert and parents!

My first thought was teeth...but yeah, the ears could be the problem. Motrin and tylenol, be sure you are stocked :)
