It's about 3:30am (that's right a.m.) and no I'm not up because I want to be. Carter has been in an incredibly terrible sleeping funk for about two weeks. He can't go to sleep without Steph or I being in his room with him and if he wakes up in the middle of the night he needs one of us to sit with him until he falls asleep (only to repeat this if he wakes up again - which often happens at least three times a night - we've both spent more than a couple of nights having fallen asleep on his bedroom floor). Side Note:: This is great fun, especially considering we have two babies who need to wake up at night also. Anyway, we're trying all of the expert's advice on helping Carter get back into a normal sleeping pattern. So tonight (or better - this morning) I've been going into Carter's room about every 20 minutes to quickly calm him and then leave (we've been at it for about 90 minutes now). I'm hanging out in the office (adjacent to Carter's room) so we don't have to keep the monitor on and Steph can try to sleep ... well, I think I hear Camden crying ... so much for any of us sleeping.
The great thing about the bottom is that things can only go up from here.

Trae and Steph.
Several years from now you will look back and ask yourselves,"how
did we do it", all the sleepness
nights that you have had, and are
probably still having. Some day
or I should say, some night they will sleep through the night, and you will have to go in a wake them up. But for now, hang in there, it
will get better. I know Trae, i put up with it with your Mom for 6 yrs, when she started to school., she started sleeping all night.
Love,
Grandma/Grammy
