Bethany's ear infection is finally getting better. She made it through last night without any tylenol. She still woke up, but didn't need any medicine. She seems to do this--some illness will cause her to wake up at night, and she almost builds a habit of it, and keeps waking up at night for week or more after she's better. It's quite aggravating, because it wakes me up and Meagan and then Meagan is cranky because she hasn't gotten enough sleep. Maybe I'll get lucky, and she'll stay asleep tonight, because I'm starting to get rather sleep-deprived.
Two nights ago, Sean woke up at about 2:30, ate and fell back asleep. Just as I was finishing with him, Bethany woke up crying. I got her back to sleep, and about an hour later Meagan woke up crying. She was easy to get back to sleep that time, but then she woke up again screaming bloody murder at about 6:00am. When I went in that time, she clung to my arm and wouldn't let go. She said something about the snake trying to get her and she had to smash it. Must've been a vivid dream, because she's never reacted like that before. I took her back to bed with me, and she never really went back to sleep, she just kept me from sleeping. That was a yucky night.
Last night wasn't so great either. Sean's had his two bottom teeth for awhile now, and it seems that his top teeth are about to come in. Yesterday, he didn't sleep much at all during the day. He had three naps, but they were only 30 minutes or less. Then when we put him to bed for the night, he kept waking up and crying. Finally I just held him out in the recliner and slept with him out there. Every so often, he'd start to wake up and fuss, and I'd shush him back to sleep. It was a long night, but at least he got some sleep.
I'm not really counting on it, but here's hoping for a better night tonight.
