Sometimes it feels like we're regressing in certain areas with Grayson. Then it will be over & I realize it's just a stage...For instance, yesterday & Monday=no nap. Last night =crying for half an hour in bed before falling asleep saying, "hold you mama!" over and over. Zac is always so calm & collected and takes it all in stride, assuring me that it's just a stage {which it almost always is!} but I just want to pull my hair out because whilst this is all going on, I can only keep thinking the following:
-he knows how to sleep good so why isn't he?
-he knows how to put himself to sleep so why isn't he?
-he is usually such a great sleeper.
-soon we will have a new baby to keep us awake at night.
-we need to get gray in a toddler bed within the next month & this whole thing will just start over again & we'll have to re-teach him all the sleeping habits he needs.
-my life is so hard. (:
No really, I know it's just a stage too & that he must just be really off schedule from all the late night partying we've been doing the past month, but it still irks me...
Then he falls asleep & we fall asleep and we all wake up so happily & it's like it didn't happen...the world is an okay place again, and my little boy is the most amazing thing in the whole world! Amazing how that works!

Loves these last posts. I actually saw Amber's post on her blog of you guys taking pictures. I love her photography and glance at her blog often. Gray does look so grown up and preppy. Love that kid (even if he doesn't want to go to sleep). We do that cycle it seems almost every other week. Except ours is waking up in the night. We figure 3 nights in our bed 2 on his own. (Don't tell your Dad). Love you!
I am going through this with Greg right now. It is super frustrating. Glad that Zac is there to calm you down. I just sit down in a corner and rock back and forth like a crazy person until I get back up again ;) But, it is amazing how you wake up and it all seems so distant as if it never happened. Love you.
I am so there with ya. One minute I want to pull out my hair, and Max's hair, then he lets me rock him and I want to cry because he is so sweet. Meltdowns and triumphs happen every few hours around our house. Good Luck!
Thanks for all of the suggestions on FB, tried cinn&sugar toast.. no go. Ate speghetti like a champ.
Cardyn was having a hard time with sleeping again too. But when we moved we moved her to a new bed. It seemed to help to give her a new responsibility. We really talked up the new bed and how big she was and how special she was that she got a new bed. It has been a few months now, she did great with the new bed but now she won't stay in. She comes out at least 10 times before she will actually go to sleepy. It is so hard and I get so frustrated but I know she will eventually get it. My 6 year old doesn't do that any more...so it gives me hope! Good luck Karli, hang in there!
Yes, it is amazing how that happens! I loved the pictures of Gray in his adorable outfit. He's looking so grown up, and once his little brother arrives he'll look even more grown up. I'm glad you guys had such a nice Christmas, and that you were able to get away to celebrate Zac's birthday. It all sounded like so much fun.
The stage thing is so hard. I have struggled with it so much. I get to the point where I feel like I actually know what I am doing to the next point where I have no clue and don't understand what is going on anymore. Or what to do now. (Wow what a long sentence!! ) It is funny how you wake up and it's good again. :) Good luck with the toddler bed. This too shall pass! :) ...or however that saying goes! :) Love you!
IT will pass. Sometimes Kira didn't sleep well when she was going through a change. Maybe Grayson is ready for a bed. Kira went through a stage where she'd wake up at 6:30 or so and usually she slept till 9:00 it drove me crazy. We put her in a bed and she started sleeping normal. For whatever reason she was tired of her crib and wanted out!
