Ryan was a little difficult to get to sleep last night.  Tyler headed to bed and I stayed up with the little stink bug.  He didn't want to lay under his mat and he didn't want to walk around either.  It was a bit of a hopeless situation for me.  Ryan started to really freak out and I sat down on the couch.  Tyler came out to help me and I'm starting to think that Ryan likes his dad more then me.  Tyler walked around for a little bit with him and then sat down.  He held the boy in the burping position and Ryan settled right down.  We turned the light off and soon enough, we could hear tiny little snores.  We headed to bed knowing Ryan would sleep for a few hours.

Today was very similar to yesterday.  Ryan seemed to be awake all day long.  Once we got out of bed, I read to him while he batted at some toys.  I sang to him and talked with him about everything I could think of.  He soon fell asleep and I put him in his crib.  He managed to stay asleep for about 20 minutes until I heard him talking.  I went in to get him and we spent some more time together.  Tyler came home for lunch and we all eat together.

After lunch, I expected Ryan to fall asleep because he was super tired but he just wouldn't stay asleep.  Every single time I tried to lay him down his eyes would pop open and would start to fuss.  Eventually I just stopped putting him down in his bed.  I fed him and he fell asleep and I left him cuddled up to me.  And there he slept for an hour.

Tyler came home and I made supper.  We had bought some roast on our way home a few weeks ago and I was preparing that while Tyler tried to get Ryan to sleep.  When I took the meat out of the plastic, I realized that it wasn't roast at all.  We had bought 3 pieces of really thin meat and it wasn't good at all.  Dinner was a disappointment.

Ryan is sleeping now for about 2 hours and I'm afraid of tonight.  I'm afraid that he will be awake all night long.  But if that's in the cards then I'll have to deal with that.  I'm sure if anything Ryan will wake up, I'll feed him again and he'll go back to sleep again.  Fingers crossed :)
