Well now that D no longer has a pacifier he has decided to throw out the afternoon naps. He is also taking 2 hours (at bedtime) to calm himself down after screaming and yelling and is waking earlier and earlier everyday (5:15 this morning-lovely). I attribute it to not being able to soothe himself back to sleep or calm himself down at night. He is functioning on 8 hours of sleep when he would typically get about 12-14.
I am so tempted to give it back to him and months ago I would have. But right now I am at the point-of-no return so I have to stick it out. I also got rid of all the pacifiers in the house as I was afraid I would give in.
It's also been one of those weekends where we absolutely have nothing on our calendar to do. We have been so busy lately that this should be a welcome surprise. But it's not. I actually crave to be busy and when I am not, I get frazzled. It's also a weekend before my first 10K race. Yes I am running a 10K next weekend and I am really not ready for it.
Oh and did I mention it snowed all day yesterday so we were stuck inside?
TGIM (tomorrow) Thank god for Monday when childcare is open at the gym, T goes to school, along with an extended program after school and Mom's Club activities resume!
You poor thing! Hang in there! Dylan will find another way to self soothe - hopefully sooner rather than later for your sake! :-(
