This morning, Jack was a bit upset from about 03:00 onwards until about 05:00-05:30, and as Claire went to work yesterday, I went to sort him out.
I don’t know what the matter with him was, but he was screaming by the time I went into him, and so I picked him up and tried to calm him down by laying him on my chest as I sat in the rocking chair. It sort of worked, to a fashion, and before long, he was back asleep.
Or so I though. 15 minutes after getting him back to sleep, he was crying again, and I was back in there.
The pattern above must have happen several times in the early hours of this morning until about 05:30 when I was left laying in bed wide awake.
Instead of laying there hoping that I’d sleep, I thought I’d nip downstairs and get a few jobs done whilst Claire and Jack were still sleeping, assuming that the little man stays asleep!
Well… he did. Claire didn’t wake up until about 09:00 and then we both went to wake him up, as he was still fast asleep, catching up on the sleep he didn’t get in the night. I was a little hesitant about waking him, as I was expecting the same screaming/grumpy Jack that we’ve had a taste of recently, but no. Actually, he was in a good mood and stayed that was for most of the day!
We went to the local park to walk the dog and ended up walking Jack around the park, holding his fingers whilst his little legs did twenty to the dozen. Only occasionally did he start to get tired and his legs caved in on him, but other than that, it’s certainly the longest distance that he’s ever walked.
Whilst we were walking, we did that “1…2…3… jump…”-thing, whereby Claire and I had hold of one of his hands each between us. Good fun. He certainly enjoyed it!
