I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night a lot lately. Since I share a bedroom with Mommy and Daddy, I have a hard time putting myself back to sleep if they are in the room. So usually Daddy takes me out of the room, gets me a drink, and lets me fall back asleep on him on the couch. It is harder for Mommy to do because I would want to be nursed if she held me. For the most part, I go back to sleep without much struggle. I toss and turn a bit until I find a comfortable spot and then fall asleep until morning. Many mornings Mommy often finds us asleep like in the picture. Ideally, we would all like it if I could go back to sleep even when Mommy and Daddy are in the room, but I am too aware and too stubborn to do so. Our routine right now may not be ideal, but it works and is the solution that allows all of us to get more sleep. I’m sure it will change in the future, but for now this is our middle of the night routine.
