Just like Daddy

Another oudated post - 26/2/2009

Gabriel is just like his Daddy when it comes to sleep. He simply doesn't like sleeping. He probably feels the same as Fred when it comes to sleep - it's a waste of time. There are way too many things to do instead of wasting time sleeping.


I normally have to make a deal with him to nap - he naps, we will do something outdoor and if he doesn't, he goes to sleep by 8pm. On days when he naps, his bedtime can stretch up to 11pm and that means he sleeps about 8plus hours only that night. If he doesn't nap, he sleeps about 11plus hours that night. The negative effects to this arrangement would be his mood. He would be super grouchy, he cries easily and he might fight sleep even more. Despite having to deal with a whiney boy, I much prefer this arrangement. I have the whole night for myself. There were a few times when Fred and I could have our dinner out.
