Dexter has been an awful sleeper since day one. When he was born the nurses were amazed at how alert and awake he was. He hardly slept. Fast forward 17 months and he still doesn't sleep well. He slept through the night for the first time last week, and I woke up about 6 times making sure he is still alive and well. Why does that happen?
He wakes up about 2 times every night, hungry and worried Mom isn't there. I always am, but just to make sure to touches my face, rubs my belly, and gives me wet kisses. He then touches Will's back, and finally falls back asleep.
He will get better, he already has. He has been through a lot in his little life, and a few extra snuggles at night don't bother me. And no, we don't do cry-it-out, I can't. I won't. I will just be patient. He will sleep. He already is better.
Our little Dexter is just so loveable.
