I was all proud about Our time and wrote about it!!
What now… we just don’t have our time anymore.
VK decided he is a big boy now and will not be submissive anymore.
No more sleep time routines...actually no more sleep time if you ask him.
We try to listen /sing rhymes... it doesn’t work.Hubby tries singing bhajans, and they don’t work either… He keeps jumping in the bed and eventually when we drag him to lie down he just tosses and turns.Through this whole tossing and turning routine, I am crushed on the side as he keeps kicking me through his routine.I try pushing him to his bed and eventually he rolls over to mine and cuddles next to me.Hoping this would be the end of the saga, we maintain pin-drop silence so he can gradually drift to sleep... Nah... He again starts his tossing and turning!!I give up after sometime and tired that I am... just doze off to sleep.Some days... I don’t even know when he sleeps as I am already in the La-La land.
VK was always a good sleeper ... However he wants to take revenge now.He keeps calling out “Amma” almost every 5-10 minutes. I actually have to respond with a touch and also say “Amma ingha thaan iruken kanna “(Amma is here only).This just appeases him for a few minutes and he starts again. If I ignore him, he just keeps calling me continuously till I reply back. So I am awake for most of the night responding to him. He also keeps mumbling words all through the night.He just randomly repeats these words Takel (circle) or baoon or puppies (tele-tubbies). Eventually he sleeps peacefully after I leave for work and its mommy who is cranky at work due to lack of sleep.
Now if you ask me why I am blogging about it …There is a reason.
Every time, I write something positive, I jinx myself and things take a downward path.I am hoping that by writing about our sleep problem, maybe it will take opposite turn and become good soon.
I know it sounds lame but anything is okay to get my full night sleep.

Is he tired enough to go to sleep? If increasing his activities does not help, then I guess you just have to wait this phase out...
oh poor you. this phase will also pass. . .
oh i pity you.. i can very well understand how tiresome it can be.. lack of sleep and getting to office - well, am facing the same thing too - too many guests at home and my system is just about to shut down!
@Nitya: yup we have tried the tiring out option.. doesnt help much !!
@Art: yah hoping this would pass soon
@DC:guests at home!!!! it does indicate heaps of fun and less or no sleep.I am already in sleep mode ..cant wait for tomm...long weekend for Easter !!
you have been tagged
Dont worry,VJ..this phase will pass too.Vk likes to watch teletubbies??So does Namnam:)
LOLing at the anti-jinxing technique. minus of minus is plus right!
Hey VJ - how are things? Getting any sleep? Long time no hear, so just checking...
Thanks for asking Nitya!!!
have been really busy with work..
did catch up on some sleep over the weekend but the night time woes have got slightly better but not totally yet.
I hear you... sadly, i have nothing much to offer except a good ear, or pair of eyes in this case... but, I know that is of no help to you :( Can you go to bed early and catch up on sleep and take turns with your husband - sort of like a tag team?
(Not sure it would work, though... in my case, Oggie gets livid if he is expecting me and his dad shows up next to him in the middle of the night...)
Hang in there!
