About 6 months into Grant's life, it became very clear to us that he was not going to be a good sleeper. At 2 1/2, he is still waking up in the middle of the night for reasons we just can't figure out! Thankfully, it doesn't happen every night, but it is often enough to make him a worse sleeper than his 3 month old brother! There are times that we can tell he is just dreaming and we let him cry it out. But, there are those times that he is screaming his head off and we know that we need to get up with him. Now, we realize that everyone has their own opinions on the right thing and the wrong thing to do at that moment.... Our outcome usually depends on the night, who gets up with him, and just how tired we are. I have been known to lay down and fall asleep on the floor with him on occasion. And yes, this crazy child still prefers to sleep on the floor! Jason tends to grab G with all his blankies and B the bunny and throws him into bed with us. Hence the perfect subject for photo challenge day 21- where you sleep....
So, for now, this is where Jason, myself and (on occasion) Grant sleep He is sleeping at the bottom of our bed- on my side of course! If it is my night off, I tend to sleep through all the drama and then I suddenly wake up to Grant kicking me in the back, pulling my hair or in this instance, laying on my legs! After sleeping with G this night, we decided the reason he hates his bed is because he is a wiggle worm and a toddler bed does not allow for a lot of wiggle room! We really hope to get him out of this stage at some point soon because we are ready to move Ashton into the room with Grant but worry that Grant will wake Ashton up!
