Mk13....You have it much worse than I.
And you've only heard one part of it
Aside from the non-sleeping little guy, the older one has had sleep issues since he was born. Won't sleep at all at night without a heavy dose of Melatonin, sometimes with extra hydroxyzine added to help with allergies and the insomnia. And even with the meds, he'll fall asleep but wakes up numerous times every night and is really hard to get back to sleep. Which is why the only way ALL of us can get some decent sleep is when we have the little one party the first part of the night (when DS4.11 is sleeping under the meds) and then the younger one finally goes to sleep too and doesn't wake up the older one with all the noise like he does when his two-naps-a-day schedule flips.
But it's not all that bad. I NEED to be able to sleep in the morning. I can do just fine without evening sleep. Plus the little guy has a gate in his door so I give up around 1am and go to bed and he's happy in his room reading books on my Kindle or playing learning games on Leappad. Sleep meds and supplements don't work on him so we're stuck with this set up for now and every time I have a friend or five give me their opinion how they would NEVER let their kids play at night, blah blah blah ... I just think to myself YOU TRY ... you wouldn't last a WEEK
