sleepy sleepy

Here is a little boy that is becoming very hard to get up in the morning. I realize this must be some sort of payback. He will wake up and call me in his room, but he is not ready to get out of his bed. He may stay in his bed awake up to 30 minutes after he really wakes up. As cute as he is "pretending" to go night night 8 times every morning, it sort of makes getting out the door on time kinda hard.

I'm still sleepy Mommy, come back later...

I realize he may still be tired, because lately he has been waking up 1 to 2 to FIVE times during the night. Most of the time he wakes up calling for me and then I go in there and he wants some milk. Lee said we need to find him a baby big gulp to keep in his bed. This morning at about one something, he woke up yelling for me and when I get to his bed, he hands me his pacifier and tells me to go wash it off and bring him some milk. Seriously... Thank goodness last night it was only that one time, the night before I got up twice and I think Lee got up once or twice as well. Sometimes he just wants you to tuck him back in. I don't know if he's having bad dreams or he's hot/cold but it's crazy that he's waking up so many times during the night. I've thought about and tired letting him "cry it out" but it seems all three of us go back to sleep much faster when you just get up and go in there. I know you are probably thinking he's calling the shots, but this is pretty abnormal of him, and we're hoping its just a phase. Whatever the reason, Mommy and Daddy do not like this new game and hope it stops soon.

That being said, he is still the sweetest, cutest, most precious little boy in the whole world and we love him more than anything (even our sleep)!
