4 hourly... bliss! LOL. I am thinking that this is going to continue until he's old enough to understand "well when you're tired just close your eyes, screaming doesn't help!"

I think if he would go to sleep on his own, even with help, it would be different. But I have to fight him down even when he's so tired he is just crying all the time. He won't "cry it out" (not that I'd let him), he just hates sleeping. If it wasn't that I want to talk to DH at some point in the day I would look at letting DS stay up later, but he does thrive better on routine (just not sleep better LOL). He is happier when we have our routine, he learns more, talks more, just generally does more. I just can't keep up with entertaining my son all evening while DH plays on the computer, I want some relaxing me-time too!

(BTW, to get DH to do anything more than a 2-minute cuddle when he's had his tea after work, I have to put DS on the sofa, tell DH I need the loo or something similar and then say "oh, DS is about to crawl off the sofa, can you look after him?")
