Night Night
My children have always been "sleepers". As in 12 hours a night and still taking 2 hour afternoon naps. But recently Gage has had a problem going to bed at night. He rubs his eyes and yawn non-stop but as soon as he hits the pillow, he is wide awake. He lays there for about 15 minutes then yells at us or comes to our bedroom and tell us that he can't sleep. We put him back in bed and the pattern continues 3-4 more times. I have told him to count sheep, think about his day or think about what he is going to do tomorrow. Nothing works. So one night, Mark and I were sick of it. We said, "Gage, you DO NOT get out of this bed or talk unless it an absolute emergency. Lay there, close your eyes and count those sheep!" 5 minutes later we hear loud screaming. "I'm STUCK! HELP I'm STUCK!" Mark and I run upstairs in a mad rush, burst into his room and he calmly says, "This is an emergency. I'm stuck. I am counting sheep and don't know what comes after 79."
