Sleepless in Charleston

I have to say the sleeping situation or lack of sleeping is improving, finally! Josiah has had such struggles with sleeping well which means this Momma has had almost 11 months of terrible sleep. It weighs on you after awhile. Honestly, I sometimes wonder how we've made it through. At first he had night terrors which were awful. Then it was a party every night around midnight to 1 am and would last till 4 or 5 am. Seriously, in his room having a party. Like it was the middle of the day! Finally the night terrors subsided and we were able to try Melatonin and IT WORKED. Yay! So, since April 1st I've had at least 10 good nights of sleep which is a HUGE improvement. You know the saying "if Momma's happy, everyone is happy". Let's just say that everyone is a lot happier : ) Josiah is like a different boy. Not cranky, not whiney...ahhhhh! So much better.

Then Rob went out of town for four days and it was apparently difficult for Josiah. This is the first time since he's been home that Daddy hasn't been home. He was totally out of sorts and for three of the four nights Rob was gone Josiah didn't sleep well. Which meant that he fell the sleep in his lasagna, in his book, playing in his bed. He just collapsed where ever he was. He was so tired. I had gotten spoiled pretty quickly with this whole sleeping thing. It was a miserable three nights.

 

But Daddy's  back home now....

 

 

his girlies missed him bunches too

 

 

and we have a much happier boy on our hands...Praise Jesus!
