“Sleeping Crisis” or the “Crisis Who Won’t Sleep”

Out little monster is having some serious sleeping issues. He is hardly sleeping 10 hours, but according to books he should be sleeping 16 hours. He is such a restless fellow in sleep and even when awake. Whoever comes to see him notices this in few minutes. His unusual sleeping habits are taking toll on our sleeps. Its going to be worst when the vacations are over and I have to go back to work. A word of advice for all you “wanna-be-parents”, the theory that sleep when your baby sleep is a bunch of bull…it is so far from reality that its not even funny. If we were to sleep when baby is sleeping when would we do things which are necessary for us to survive like cook, eat, pee, poop, laundry, socialize and what not !! Above all aren’t we suppose to keep an eye on the dude himself so that he doesn’t end up having his cap on his nose !! For all I know every time somebody is going to use the phrase “slept like a baby” is going to get a deep look from me that’s the biggest oxymoron on the face of the earth. We are planning to check with doctor on what we should do. For now we have questions as to “ Is it okay for the kid to sleep in the cradle as that seem to be only friend we got right now ??”, “ Is it okay to let the baby cry for sometime even though you have to put a 100 ton stone on your heart ??”

I and my dear son have been in situation where the dude has been up for 6 hours with periphery of the eyes being completely pink indicating the desperate need of some sleep. The monster completely discard the suggestion from his body and rather is interested in play “Who Will Sleep First” with no intention of loosing. As the clock is ticking eventually somebody goes to sleep and most times that is ME. Many people have given us ideas on taking him on a ride or putting him on a running drier but we haven’t yet tried any of them. I and Vi already had our fair share of discssion on these topics and we have tried letting him cry it out but it ha not worked so far !!

But for now we both just dream of the days when we hardly even have to rock him help you fall asleep. The day when we will lay him in the crib and he will grab his blanket and snuggle right into it. Dreams does come true !!
