My Grandson, who is nine months old, is beginning to flex his baby biceps…sleeping through the night has now become a thing of the past…when he was born, of course, he would wake to get his bottle and suck away until he became content then sleep was the next option…now, as my daughter-in-law reports, he gets up after 2 hours and stays up for 3, this at around 9:30pm…I remember those days. My first born, had control of the night hours. My son would sleep whenever he got tired. He would stay up till 11pm…I was young, and enjoying my new found motherhood…boy, did I spoil him…then BAM!! School and second child all came at once…I needed to take control of the nights. So a bed time was in order…but my son did not agree..so the battle of the tears, screams, shouts for mercy, began…I had 3 long evenings of listening, comforting, a child who sounded like I was abusing him big time…Of course, I gave my two cents to my daughter-in-law about my Grandson’s antics. This is one battle that needs to be won…NOW!! See he sleeps over night at Grandma’s and I need my sleep…
