EJ did not take a nap today, and yesterday, and some days last week. At first, I was elated. It means he's going to sleep early. It means more time for me to do what I want at night. It means late night DVDs for hubby and I.
I actually wished it becomes his new sleeping pattern. Until I realized I am more exhausted than ever before.
Yesterday, he woke up at 11:00am. Since he doesn't go to school for now, I let him sleep in as late as he wants. And I hate waking him up.
So I knew then that it was going to be a long day. I had anticipated that he would not take a short nap anymore because he woke up late. And that's what happened.
He went to sleep at 9:00pm. But by then I was a total madwoman. I was so tired and was getting crankier by the minute. I didn't have a minute's rest since he woke up. When he wasn't watching TV, he was demanding that we play. When he was watching TV, I was busy doing housechores!
Today, it's the same story again. He woke up later in the day, refused to take a nap this afternoon and went to sleep at 8:30pm. It sounds great but by the time he finally slept, I was ready to call it a day as well. Except I have to stay awake to do some things first.
Sigh.
I have two options: sleep in as late as he does or take a lot of vitamin supplements. The former is impossible as I wake up early however late I sleep. I guess I should stock up on multivitamins now.
