Not through the night. or day. or at all.

My wonderful 13-hour-plus a night sleeper is gone, overnight. He never went to sleep at 8 pm last night until after 1 am. It was so unusual that I did go in twice (at 10:30 and 12:30) to see what all the crying was about. While awake, like, today, during the day, he seems to be perfectly normal but it’s supposed to be naptime and it’s a frightening flashback to 12:30 last night, only the sun is up. He just calls and calls and calls for me. Something tells me it’s just his age right now. I’m going to be a bad mom and let him cry until 3 pm today. Now, why don’t I have that iPod? I guess earplugs will just have to do even though they don’t help distract my brain like the iPod would.

18 months old sucks so far. It’s physically exhausting on me and mentally impossible. GO. TO. SLEEP. JAMES.

Other than the tantrums, hitting, biting, not sleeping, and throwing of food I really enjoy him at this age.

UPDATE: he wiped out at 2 pm and with a false alarm around 3:15, he’s still asleep as of 3:50, so all-in-all, it has been a decent nap, jut off to a rough start.
