Definately not alone hun.

We've always had the 4.30-5.30am start to the day, but over the last few weeks the 1am or 2am wake up is happening more and more frequently. And he just can't get back to sleep, we bring him in bed with us and wiggles and giggles and mucks around for at least a couple of hours. the other night I rolled over to see if ignoring him helped at all and he sat on top of me and started doing horsey rides!!!!

So I'm not much help... Our solution for the time being has been to buy a bigger bed... It comes next Tues and I can't wait. At least DH and I might have some room while we're being climbed over at 2am.

I just read Toddler Tactics by Pinky and found that great. I tend to think that there is so much neurological development going on at the moment that that is probably what is effecting sleep... As the brain makes new connections abd neural pathways, I guess they're thinking more and more iykwim? So I think, like us when we're stressed or worried, when they wake in the night their little minds start going a million miles an hour and they're unable to go back to sleep. At least that's todays theory... I'm sure I'll have a new one for you tomorrow LOL!

Hope it comes to an end for you soon
