My baby usually walks to our bed to sleep between hubby and I - we have a king bed thankfully - and right now I don't mind because he often wakes me with his screaming and terrible nightmares :( So sad that a two-year-old has such bad dreams, I worry that my bad moods and impatience is to blame xxEmily @ Have A Laugh On Mehttp://www.havealaughonme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-54098128364510377142013-10-15T19:55:43.978+08:002013-10-15T19:55:43.978+08:00I'm really hoping you get to the end of this p...I'm really hoping you get to the end of this power struggle soon.

It is so hard to be your best when you are sleep-deprived because they won't go to sleep, or stay asleep.

Lately he's been getting out of bed, sneaking around the unit unseen!! Little monkey! Now every few nights he wants me to stay with him til he falls asleep....ugh! I'm sure before I know it he'll be sleeping in and I'll be dragging him out of bed for school. Maybe! xoAroha @ Colours of Sunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260762008076873790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-31424395584028584072013-10-15T11:42:00.347+08:002013-10-15T11:42:00.347+08:00I have a stubborn strong willed child too who does...I have a stubborn strong willed child too who does my head in.

Sorry to hear about your child who won't sleep - thankfully we didn't have too much of that and now most nights she goes to bed after me but is old enough to know how much sleep she needs. She does know that I would put up with a cranky pants wearing child the day after she has had a late night !!!<br />Have the best day !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-90154419714178751342013-10-15T07:23:44.739+08:002013-10-15T07:23:44.739+08:00Glad it is cooler for you, there certainly has bee...Glad it is cooler for you, there certainly has been some hot days lately!

Now that you've mentioned it, I remember those nights of waking up every 2 hours or so to soothe Lil Pumpkin back to sleep. She's much better now, only wakes up once or twice a night.. haha. Will she ever sleep through the whole night? I do hope so :)<br /><br />Ai @ <a href="http://www.sakuraharuka.com/" rel="nofollow"> Sakura Haruka </a>Ai Sakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647203995385379898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-6566037603611667632013-10-15T07:05:32.684+08:002013-10-15T07:05:32.684+08:00Oh my lord.
