He...won't...SLEEP!!!!!!!

WHEN! I ask you WHEN! Is my child going to sleep throught the night????? I am going on almost two years of not sleeping through the night myself.

Wierd thing is, every now and again, he will sleep through the night. Then it's a growth spurt, or he's teething, or he's sick. There are real reasons he is waking up in the night, but sometimes, I think it's Seperation Anxiety.

I love my child so much...but a rested mommy is a happy mommy.

Parents, what worked for you?

My son has found his voice...and his strength!

Alex is 10 months old and every day it seems like he is making a new sound. Well recently he has started screaming. Which is hilarious...most of the time. It's not so funny when he's upset and decides to scream at the top of his lungs to make sure you know it!

The other day, I was cleaning out our office. We have some unused exercise equipment in there including some little 5 pound weights. Well Alex decides that he needs to pick one up. So he did. He PICKED UP a 5 pound weight and started walking around the room with it! After the initial shock wore off, the fear set in. I could just see him dropping this 5 pound weight on one of his cute little toes.

So I took it away from him...and he started screaming.

Sigh...
