So here it is half past midnight and Omega is still up. I put him in his crib about 30 minutes ago, and he's really pissed off right now. The down side is, I have to walk through his room to get to my bed. I'm not sure if I should do it while he's awake--and get his revved up to top pitch wail again--or wait until he's asleep--who knows what time I'll get to bed again.
It's so hard to listen to him cry. I know that he's not hungry--he's had 11+ ounces since 8pm--but I'm not sure what's wrong. In the past I've given him some tylenol and some orajel and eventually he nods off, but I don't like to keep doing that. I know that eventually he'll learn to fall asleep and stay asleep all night, but in the mean time, my heart is really hurting. He definitely has a way of making it sound like the worst, most dreadful thing that can happen. Sigh.
On a happier note, I've started yet another hat for him, and this one seems to be working a bit better. I actually bought him a hat at WalMart this afternoon. And I knew as soon as I bought one, I'd get one made. I'm kind of making up my own pattern again, but working from a pattern at the same time. I've given up on the elf style hat and I'm going to settle for a stocking cap with ear flaps. At least I hope I'll get the ear flaps on. I'm writing out the pattern as I knit it, in case it turns out super awesome and I want to make another one.
LE has wet the bed again tonight--so he's sleeping on the guest room bed. This is the 3rd time in the last week or so that he's wet the bed. He's not drinking copious amounts of water before bed, so I'm not exactly sure where this is coming from. He's been completely out of diapers--nighttime included--since he was 2.5 years old. I'm not sure how to handle this--other than lots of laundry and not making a big deal of it. Of course, he's the kid that likes to sleep under multitudes of blankets, so a wet bed equals lots of laundry, but...
