Ok, I just don't know how to get this working. Parker has gone to sleep the past two nights at 2 am. Yes, you read right. 2 am. Needless to say, NONE of us is sleeping well. So, I vowed today to get him back on schedule. HA!!
First off, we woke at 10:30 am (Jeff was at work by this point ... poor man!). So much for getting up early.
Starting at around 2 pm, I try to convince him that he's tired. No go.
At 3 pm, I decide enough is enough and we go to the bedroom where I work to get him to sleep. I even try leaving him in the room alone (he screamed bloody murder, but that didn't stop even when I was in the room). He started jumping on the bed, or climbing the cat condo in the window, and I kept making him lay back down and be still, but he just wasn't doing it.
It is now 4:20 pm, he's STILL not going to sleep, and I'm fed up. I get him some yogurt and put in a video. He watches it, and plays.
6:40 pm ... he falls asleep. WTF?!?!?
So, here I am, at 7:15 pm wondering what do I do now. Do I go and wake him up after a 30-minute nap? How do I keep him awake if I do that? How do I get him to go to sleep for the night tonight?
