So, Luc's been getting up in the middle of the night and trying to get into bed with us. Usually I can just take him back into his room and he'll go right back to sleep. The other night he didn't and ended up keeping me up for 2.5hrs.
Last night when he didn't go right back to sleep, MH & I had decided to put him back in his room and essentially let him CIO.
Trust me, CIO with a child who cannot yet talk is SO much easier.
After 1hr and 20min of screaming & crying he finally went back to sleep. He was screaming things like: "Momma, I need water" or "I need to go potty" or "Momma/Daddy help!" or "Puppy/Monster (our dogs) help!" or "I'm stuck!" or "Daddy, where's Momma?". It totally broke my heart, but made me laugh a little, too.
I was wondering why he didn't just open his door & come back in his room, but it turns out he locked himself in. When I checked on him this am, he was in his bed, sound asleep.
Ugh, I hope we don't have to do that again.
Re: CIO with a 3yo = not fun.
OMG! Our kids must have spoken before going to bed. Mine did the exact same thing!!! My favorite
"Mommy, don't you love me"
Awe, that stinks! I don't like it when I have to leave G in his room crying either. It doesn't happen very often or for very long but it still stinks.
BTW, are going to the GTG today? I'll be there, I can't wait to meet everyone!
We'll be there!!
