Oh dear its so frustrating isn't it. I bet you'd just settled in to relax too
You know it could be something completely unrelated to whether he has a routine or not. I'm pretty sure our unsettledness at bed times recently was due to a number of things - primarily teething and just all the big stuff happening for their little bodies developmentally. It doesn't help that they are things that are mostly out of our control and we just have to roll with. Try not to analyse it too much, you just end up doing your head in even more in my experience.
Poor little mite is teething, I thought he might be yesterday, but last night he just couldn't stay asleep and was waking himself up pulling at his ear. This morning one of his top teeth has dropped down (but yet to cut) so at least the sleepless night achieved something. Maybe the mixed up routine did work after all...
Poor little chicken. If its any consellation (sp?) we had three nights where teeth were clearly the issue, but it seems to have subsided and we've got our happy little guy back and he's sleeping again too. No doubt it will all change when the teeth finally cut though.
