Sleep-Overs

It turns out that the solution to Cael's sleeping troubles is Finn.

Cael, for the last... I don't know, forever, has had trouble sleeping. He would wake up at least twice a night crying hysterically and need comforting, or would make his way to our room and want to sleep with us in our bed. Some nights it would be six or seven times in an evening, and calming him down always took at least ten minutes.

After story time a few days ago Finn didn't want to get out of Cael's bed. Ryan suggested that he stay there for the night. Cael was not keen on that idea, but thought that Finn could bring his bed in Cael's room and that would be okay.

So we moved the crib in and it's been there ever since.

Cael hasn't woken up crying yet.

All this time we've been trying to keep them from bugging each other with their nightly fussing when really they just needed some company.

Now if only Cael could cure Finn of his need to wake up for the day before six in the morning - then we'd be in business!
