Mad for Mommy: Friggin Friday

It’s been a rough week even though it was only a 3 day work week for me. I feel like I have been beat up by life today. My little nugget has been sleeping in my bed for what feels like the whole night, all week long. The other night I woke up around 2am and he had taken over my pillow. When I told him to go share Daddy’s pillow he had the nerve to tell me no and put his little noggin right back down. I need to get him to sleep in his bed because I am not getting any sleep and my back is killing me.

The other great thing about having him in our bed at night is that he woke up wet twice this week. The first time was my fault because I forgot to make him go potty before bed on Monday night because I was distracted by a phone call. Thankfully the sheets were not wet and I was able to change him and go right back to sleep. Wednesday night we weren’t so lucky. He did go potty before bed, but he also drank a whole sippy cup of juice so I should have known that we were doomed. He woke me up at 4:30am screaming, “I’m wet! Mommy change meeeeeeeee!” and at that exact moment I realized that both of my hands were asleep. I tried to wake up Love who didn’t budge an inch. After my hands came back to life I checked Nate and realized that from the amount of pee on his undies and pants there was no way that my bed was dry. I tried to wake Love again so I could change the sheets but he didn’t move again so we left him next to the wet spot and went and slept on the couch.

Last night I took away the sippy cup shortly after dinner and threatened to make him wear a pull up if he insisted on drinking more. He was adamant that he would not wear a pull up again, so he went potty before bed and we all hoped for the best. I was very happy this morning when I woke up to a dry bed. I’m going to read up on sleep training toddlers and work on him this weekend. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Wish me luck!
