Why I am Sleep Deprived
All the kid-sleep books note that children may have trouble sleeping when they’re going through a development stage. Last Sunday, I was up with 2yo Guppy at 1 and 4; he was crying for water. Then at 4:40 am, my husband and I heard 4yo Drake talking in his room; Drake rarely wakes in the night. G. Grod went to investigate.
G: Drake, it’s not morning yet. What’s up?
D: (Holding dinosaur book) I wanted to say the names of the dinosaurs, so I could hear my voice.
I’m not sure what stage it is, but it sure sounds like one to me.
