Sleep

Some of you may know that we have been suffering with Jack sleeping through the night for over a month now because he is night-time potty trained. You might think well you don't have to buy diapers but that is not the point I am not getting any SLEEP. He feels the need to come "check on us" when he goes potty in the middle of the night, seriously that is the reason he gives for waking up. It has at least gotten less frequent but it is still an issue. We tried locks (broke them off), tried baby gate (climbed over it after crying for 20 minutes) and bribing everything under the sun.
While Jason was giving the boys a bath last night Jack is playing with a little people, that somehow ended up in the tub. "If you stay in your bed all night you can watch cartoons", can you tell what we have been bribing him with? As most of you know we don't watch a lot of tv in our house, let alone everyday but will start if it means we all sleep. At least he knows he should be staying in his bed!
So for all you parents out there, you will no longer get sleep ever!! This is happening with our great sleeper who never even knew he could get out of his bed until he turned 3.

Good Luck everyone!!

I know your pain. Every since our arrival in Subic (almost 7 months now) Cade gets up at 2:00 A.M. and crawls in our bed. Fortunately, we have a big enough bed that he doesn't bother us much. The rare nights he doesn't join us though, we are in heaven. Good luck and I hope you guys get some sleep soon. So sweet that he "checks on you" though.
