This is new
Nathaniel is so good at sleeping through the night that it's a real surprise when he doesn't ... and even more or a surprise when it's two nights in a row, like it was last night and tonight. He woke up at 4 a.m. Wednesday morning, then at midnight and 4 a.m. Thursday morning. Isn't this supposed to happen when he's 15 days old, not 15 months? And I'm concerned that he's now capable of realizing that a few minutes of yelling at 4 a.m. might result in getting to sleep with mom and dad ... and that won't break him of the habit anytime soon. This could be a rough one.

As hard as it is...do not allow him to sleep in your bed. The one time you let him will only lead to a next time and so on...its a bad habit to start. And believe me, with a 2 yr old and 6 mo. old myself, I know its very tempting. When our two yr old wakes up screamn we walk him around the house, get him a drink, and sit with him on his bed. Total time: no more than 10 minutes. He knows now that he is not coming into our bed...it just took time to get him there. Good luck and get some sleep!!!!
