Last night was one of those nights when Ryan couldn’t seem to settle down and go to sleep, despite being tired from a long day of playing, and then going out to Chili’s for dinner. I gave him his normal dose of Melatonin (2.5mg) and he rocked for a bit and then went to sleep… and then kept popping back up. The last time he popped up and started rocking I was in bed and ready for sleep, so I brought him in with us. Ryan slept with us a lot as a newborn and an infant, and since I breastfed him until he was fourteen months old, he would routinely spend the mornings in bed with us up until he weaned. So it wasn’t a surprise that he settled down and did actually go to sleep once I settled him between Dan and I.
Bonus: instead of popping up between 7:30am and 8:00am, as he is wont to do these days, he slept with us until nearly 10:00am! Whoo hoo!
