4:00 AM is Morning, Right?
Posted on December 9, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Personal |
That´s what Dorian figures. I have no idea why, but for the past three or four days, the little guy has been attempting to get up at this hour. It´s driving me nuts.
I know there are super productive people out there who get up at this awful hour to get stuff done and that is what I´m attempting to do this morning. Irving came in at 3 am, Dante decided to wake up and practice singing at that hour, he fell asleep just as his big brother decided it was time to start the day. So here I am, at the computer, weary from not sleeping yesterday and trying to be productive.
Why would a 2 year old possibly think that 4 am is morning? It´s pitch black out. He has no clock, and can´t tell time anyway, so it´s not like “hey, it´s after midnight, I can get up now” and he´s still tired, so I´m not sure what the issue is. But boy do we have a tantrum on our hands when I tell him it´s still sleeping time! Which Irving somehow slept right through. I´m sure the neighbors think I´m abusing my kids, hearing the bloodcurdling screams in the wee hours of the morning.
The worst part is that Dorian often doesn´t sleep after this, he just lays there complaining and hitting the wall until around 5:30 or 6 when I let him get up. And by 7 or 8, he´s ready for a nap . . . . which is way too early and then messes up the rest of the day! The stages these kids go through. They baffle me.

Maybe he is sleeping too early? I hope he lets you have a longer sleep now…
Hey, whats wrong with that time??? Apart from it still being dark, (should maybe tell him that play time and out of bed time are ONLY when it is light…
Good Luck!
