taine sleeping

Taine is still not sleeping properly.

I have attributed this to a few things.
1. Not sleeping during the day - I've been at teaching practice and Lew has been looking after them - he doesn's see what happens to the tired boy so possibky doesn't see the importance - very very very overtired when he does go to bed
2. Taine is missing out on one-on-one attention with lew and I. jake is s much more demanding of our time, whereas Taine seems happy enough doing his own thing.
3. when he wakes - i lvoe having him with me! there, i have admitted it. he looks so cute as he sleeps, and he is so cuddly, when he is awake and I cuddle him, he tendds to bite. i love this time together. BUT it menas that my husband is no longer sleeping with me - in the literal sense


so have decided to face this by:

1. spending more time with taine doing taine things. like playing with the trains, doing some drawing with him and reading.
2. nap times - regular and perhaps before lunch rather than after. early lunch and then bed. Even though he often just plays in his room rather than going to bed.



am going to try dealing with day time naps first as I think this is the main problem - and then work on night time. Taine waking at night co-incides with him stopping sleeping during the day (despite being exhausted)

actual;ly, when i was working all htis out last night, i was thinking of you and i remembered the advice you had been given - so you helped even without realising!
