I'll chat with him until at least 8:30 my time, 6:30 your time, so you can stay in bed until at least sometime close to DAWN.<br /><br />Because this 4:30 AM business??<br /><br />That's madness.Criss L.

Please take this with a grain of salt as I know that I am not at that point yet and have not had to deal with a 2 year old. But when I was reading online to figure out what to do about Madeline's sleeping habits (not going to bed until 5 in the morning - We sure do have opposites), I read a lot of moms saying that although it seems against logic their kids slept better and slept in longer when they were put down earlier. So instead of keeping D up late to get him to sleep in longer, try putting him to bed at 6 or 6:30 or just increase the bed time by 15 min each night and see what happens. Even if he still wakes up a 4:30 he will be less tired. Just a thought :)Kara Whittennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-4876056044378910032010-01-26T08:34:21.414-08:002010-01-26T08:34:21.414-08:00Oh boy...that would not fly with me! G was gettin...Oh boy...that would not fly with me! G was getting up early for awhile but then we decided that it was too early and choose a time that was acceptable. Now we don't go into her room until at least 6am...and she often sleeps until 6:30-7am. Sometimes she'll wake and cry for a couple of minutes, realize we're not coming and settle back down...but we started with what I call "CIO-lite" at about 9 months. We also got better about putting her down at the same time...and pushed that earlier to 7pm - although I know moms that put their kids to bed at 6-6:30...or even earlier! Implementing the earlier bedtime and stay in bed "rule" took about a week to even out but it was worth it! Of course what works for one is sure to bust the other but it might be work a shot... :) Good luck!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018918218082501818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-16061369658782495672010-01-26T07:42:50.768-08:002010-01-26T07:42:50.768-08:00eeep! 4:30 is so early.

Just a thought: I know the sound of your little one playing wakes you, but maybe he'll settle back to sleep on his own if you leave him be. I used to jump everytime my baby made a noise. The problem was she did it so often. Lately I've been leaving her in her crib until she cries. I figure she'll cry when she needs me. Other than that, she'll just talk to herself for a little bit and fall back asleep. <br />I hope things settle diwn for your little one so you can get more sleep. I'm so glad I stopped by your blog. I've been following you on Twitter.<br /><br />Kristi, Live and Love...Out Loud<br />@TweetingBabyKristi @ Live and Love...Out Loudhttp://liveandloveoutloud.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568229.post-14155494440263732332010-01-26T05:48:01.572-08:002010-01-26T05:48:01.572-08:00Came over after seeing your tweet.

They don't know what hit them. My son refused to sleep through the night until he was four-ish. I later learned about melatonin. I was already beyond the point of no return in the sleep deprivation department, waking up out of habit, even after the kiddo finally slept through the night.<br /><br />Good luck! Sleep deprivation is every moms nemesis!AmyMusingshttp://www.amymusings.comnoreply@blogger.com
