It is true that we should never brag about our kids. I was telling Robyn yesterday that Connor has been waking up once or twice each night for almost a month now due to molar teething. However I usually just feed him and he returns to sleep nicely. Connor must have heard what I said, and last night he showed us what he can do. He woke up at 1:45am; I went in to feed him as usual. Once I returned him to the crib, he stood back up and started complaining again. Since I did my part, I just decided to leave him alone hoping he would go back to sleep. It must have been like 15+ minutes, but he was still standing up and crying occasionally. Stuart decided to pay him a visit, but as soon as Connor saw Stuart instead of me, he flopped down onto the crib continuing his fit. Stuart just patted Connor on his back while he was sobbing, and he actually almost fell asleep until Stuart opened the door to leave. So Stuart picked him up this time; Connor was initially still complaining until eventually became comforted by Stuart. After a period of time, Stuart attempted to put him back down but it failed again. Stuart returned to our room in defeat. I gave in after another period of crying, I went into the room. Connor was so happy to see me, he gave me a big smile which I don’t actually like to see in the middle of the night. He wanted me to hold him and he just leaned on me for a long time while we were rocking on the chair. I did enjoy our moment together. He later gestured to be fed again, so I thought it was time to wrap up this awakening. However, Connor still did not appear sleepy. I had to just lay him back down in the crib after feeding and the crying resumed again. While Stuart and I were contemplating if we should bring him to our bed, Connor finally flopped down and fell asleep. It was like 3:15am; Stuart and I could then get some sleep too. Connor ended up sleeping until 8:20am (record time).
