Boycotting Sleep when Daddy is home???

After months and months of sleep problems we've been on awesome sleeping streak.  My DH travels &/or works late 4+ nights a week, so for the most part it is just me and C for bedtime and naptime.  When Dh is home (especially for an entire day), C. will. not. sleep.  He SCREAMS if you even try to put him to sleep.  When it is just me and C it takes 5 minutes to get him to sleep and he sleeps over 1/2 the night in his crib.  When Dh is home, it can take upward of an hour to put him down and he usually ends up in the bed all night (and for naps).  Once DH leaves again, it takes me a good 24 hours to get him back on his routine, and the 1st night it can sometimes take upwards of 3 hours to get him to go to bed.  I stick to his same schedule/routine when DH is home.... any suggestions????

    No, I'm sorry, I don't have any suggestions.  I feel for you thought, DH has been gone for a week and won't be back until Friday, and I'm having the opposite problem.  DS's sleep has gone to crap, he's not napping as easily, and it's hard to get him down for the night, and for him to stay down. 

    I hope you find something that works for him.  I'm sure he's just relishing in his daddy time, and having a hard time separating from him.  Good luck.
