Monday/Tuesday: sleep?

Over the past few nights Joshua has been sleeping more and more poorly.  First I just had to go in there and he'd calm back down.  Then it would be close to morning and calming and rocking didn't work, so I'd bring him into bed with us for a bit.

And then last night happened.  He woke up just as we were going to bed, of course.  He wouldn't listen like normal to go to sleep and any time we'd go in he would easily lay down.  But was up again in a few minutes.

Ben: What's wrong Joshua?
Joshua: wall
Ben: the wall?
Joshua lies down.

Since he was keeping most of the household awake, Joshua and I slept in the guest bed.  He calmed right down, except for one time that he started awake yelling "Mom!"  It was almost as if the yell woke him up.  He nicely slept on the bed itself instead of me, so I got a comfortable, although not full, night of sleep.

Tonight he continued the trend, crying right away and not going to sleep.  Eventually he ended up like this:

That's right, sleeping while standing up.  He eventually moved to the corner and it worked ok, but he'd still sort of wake up every few minutes, wimper a bit, and go back to sleep.  Ben finally got in the crib with him and got him to lay down.  We haven't heard anything since then, but it also isn't time for us to go to bed yet. :)

Stay tuned!
