3 Minutes.. No Crying

I kept a clear head when preparing Aidan for bed this evening. I kept telling him what we will be doing next. "Let's pick up your toys, then we can read, and you'll go night night." We told the toys "night-night" as we put them away. We kissed photos of family members night-night. We read 3 books. Dad got him to actually lay down in bed while I put up the gate to his door. So far so good... it has been less then 5 minutes though. Wish us luck that when and if he wakes up at 2AM he's not screaming for 2 hours. I have a busy day tomorrow and can't be sleep deprived. Guess I better got to bed soon too!

The Toddler That Keeps Waking Up

We're exhausted.

Aidan keeps waking up every night and screaming for an hour or two. There must be an answer in one of these books from the library, right???

How can I get the super Nanny lady to come to our house and help us with one 2 1/2 year old that doesn't want to stay in his own bed or sleep through the night?
