...Gone Wild!

You've seen the shows...Animals Gone Wild, etc. We'll at our house the last week it should be called "3 year old gone wild." Our son, Creighton, has effectively for a week stopped napping, refuses to stay in his bed, takes over an hour to fall asleep, wakes up before 5AM and has turned into what I lovingly refer to as demon span. Creighton has been a great sleeper since 13 weeks old. I, like a Nazi, followed the book Healthy Sleeping Habits, Happy Child. The book works. I knew he was a bit sleep deprived from the holidays, but after yesterday I was thinking I could sell him to a band of gypsies with no remorse...the shit hit the fan...so to speak. I planned to go back to strict bedtime schedule. My goal was 6:30. Planned the entire night out from 4:30 on.

4:30- dinner
5:00- bath
5:30- ice cream cake for my husband's birthday
5:45- 20 mins of TV
6:05- stories
6:20- teeth and such
6:30- sleep

He lasted until 6:10 falling asleep during story time. Chalk one up for me. So to recap the score...

Team Creighton- 50
Team Denise- 1

I am once again aiming for a 6:30 bedtime.

In between trying not to go crazy and shear embarrassment of the tantrums in public. I did get to do a bit of shopping. We went to the Model Home Interiors sale on Saturday were I snagged a cute basket ($5) and two wooden bar chairs ($75 for the pair). I may have over paid for the bar chairs, but I love them. See-

PS right now Creighton is sleeping in the car seat in the garage. So change that score to-
