Bedtime

For the last two weeks Dmitri has been melting down over bedtime.  He's done it before and we moved bedtime earlier and that fixed it, but its not working anymore.  He'll nurse and kind of go to sleep but anything that wakes him up like movement or even me sniffling might trigger an epic inconsolable cry-fest for 10-30 minutes.  Putting him in the crib before he's dead asleep is worse.  Naps suck too.  We were just at the doctor so we've ruled out ear infection.

Is he just being a toddler?  Am I the only one with a kid who hates to go to sleep?

    Cameron is good most of the time, but certain nights it's definitely melt downs because he is not done having fun. You are not alone.

    How is he before you start the bedtime routine?  Maybe pushing bedtime later/earlier would help depending on his mood that day.  I have a general time that I start LOs routine to put her down.  It is usually within an hour so from 6:30-7:30 pm.  I leave it kind of flexible so that I can adjust it based on her mood.  On the days she takes a great nap at DC or a 20 minute nap on the way home from DC I start the routine at 7:30 pm.  On days she is tired, slept like crap and grumpy I start at an earlier time.  If he seems happy maybe a slightly later bedtime would work?
    As for the crying some nights LO cries and other nights she goes down quietly.  I wish I knew why!  I think toddlers just like to be unpredictable!
