Toddler sleep patterns

When ever my boy gets fussy like that, I let him know that we will be back in, in a little while to check on him. Once he understands that we will be back he settles right down. Usually we check back in on him in about 30 minutes and he is either asleep or waiting for us and turns over and goes right to sleep when we leave.

My just-over 2-year-old son went to bed so well every night for about 9 months...Our ritual is to watch an episode of Blue's Clues and then right to bed.


This past week has been hell. He has started the crying tantrum as soon as we put him to bed. What the #### happened?

Mine started doing that at about 2.5/3. It's just about testing boundaries and begging to sleep in your bed. It literally turned bedtime into a 2 hour long process of him crying and me being very frustrated.

I'd keep his routine the same and check on him periodically to calm him down. Make sure he has been potty, has a drink, has no reason to get up, etc. It last a couple weeks but once he realized I wasn't caving, he eventually stopped.

I have NO idea how my son slept through all that thunder and lightning last night?!?! Husband and I were wide awake, we were all "wait for it, wait for it, any minute he's gonna freak" and he slept :shrug:

as he's getting older, he may not require as much sleep as he did 6 months ago. Try adjusting his bedtime and change up his routine. Maybe read a book after watching Blue's Clues (while he's tucked into to bed to wind down)

Mine did some amazing napping today. Tornado warning came on while he was asleep. Hubby picked him up, carried him down to the basement and laid him back down. He opened his eyes once. Then slept for three more hours.

Of course he's now in his bedroom calling through the door: "Dad? Daddy? Daaaaad!" Bets on whether he'll crash before midnight or after?

Well. We are gonna try out the big boy bed tonight. If he throws a fit I figure we can always soothe with some cartoons.

Oh honey... face it... there will be no "normal" sleep for you in the next couple decades. Next thing you know your baby boy will be old enough to go cat'n around and you won't sleep 'til you know he's home safe. :lol:
