? for those who have early risers

I want to thank you all again for your support and hugs and sympathetic ears.

I just wanted to update you and how it's all going. Don't ask me how it happened, cause I just can't figure it out but somehow (perhaps it was just their time), they have been sleeping consistently through the night for the past week and a half. I have gotten them onto a one nap schedule and it is usually together and they sleep anywhere from an hour and a half to 2 and half hours. Since it was mostly Lorien who was giving me the challenge I was trying to figure out what is different that would possibly contribute to her sleeping through the night. Well, duh...She has started trying to walk! She is walking about 50/50 sometimes 60/40 and I guess it must be exhausting her?? Well, I'm feeling much better and have been sleeping so well lately and have a nice break during their nap time to catch up on house work and talk to friends and watch some t.v. or whatever I need to do and it has been GREAT!!! They still wake up before 6am but today they slept until 5:45 which is a little bit better for them (and me!).

Thanks again for all your advice. I guess when they are ready they are just ready. I'm just glad it finally happened!! I am realistic and know that there could be some set backs here and there but just to see that it's possible is enough

 

Well thats good to hear... Glad things are going better!

 

Hooray! :a_smil09: :a_smil09: :a_smil09: :a_smil09: :a_smil09: :a_smil09: :a_smil09:

I am soooooo happy for you. We had the same problems and (while we did have to resort to some CIO as well) we are finally sleeping consistently through the night, on one nap, although still waking consistently at 6am. But compared to the previous, it's a FABULOUS IMPROVEMENT! So I totally understand your excitement. Sleep is a wonderful thing!

 

:clapping: Glad to hear it!!

 

:banana: YAH for sleep!! I'm so glad it is starting to fall into place for you!!

 

Glad to hear they are sleeping through the night. It makes all to difference to US!!!!

As far as waking early, some people are just early risers. Just like some people are night owls. My boys are early risers and that is just the way it has always been. I'm used to it.

The boys and now my DD have been really early risers like around the 5:30 mark in the 11-15 mo stage. The boys grew out of it and I am assuming DD will too. The boys are still early risers and most days we are all up by 6:30 which is nice when it's been in the 5:00 range.
Best of luck
