shazz - thats fantastic that you all had a good nights sleep finally!

tania - thanks for the advice, asthma has been in the back of my mind for a while now as both DH and I suffer from it, but i know that it is extremely hard to diagnose children under 2 with asthma, so i have been hoping that it would go away.

Archie was not himself today, very tired, didn't really eat all day (hoe'd into tea though!), he was fine and full of beans at the playground though so he cant be too bad...rang the Parent Helpline to get advice on his cough and they said to go to GP and get asthma ruled out so he has an appointment next week. he ended up sleeping for 4 hours this morning and woke up far happier. i put him to bed nearly 2 hours ago and he is still in there wide awake,but i can tell he is so tired really. he seems to not let himself go to sleep when he's tired at 6:30-7:00, he fights it til hes overtired then will be up til 10....anyone else's cherub doing this?? I am just getting sick of saying "it must be his teeth" and im not feeling good about him seeming to have pain relief every night either, but im not convinced he doesn't need it...sometimes this parenting gig is hard work!
