J is killing me with the tablet. He just stnds and screams and cries for it. I tell him no and its major toddler meltdown. I hide it and he freaks out. For 17 months we did like 5 minutes if videos a day, now he wants them all the time..what the heck?
His sleep has been crappy the last few nights too. I havent been feeding him motn and its pissing him off. He was up at 1130, 2, then at 530 for the day. Im exhausted and its making me cranky.
Lastly. Its april fools day...pretty much the worst day to be an elementary school teacher. Im tired just thinking abiut it

Good luck at school today king26. This is a good age for tantrum throwing so just stick to the boundaries about videos. Mine asks to watch TV all the time but I just stick to the routine of when it can be on. Although she totally watches an hour or so a day between me attempting to shower and DS watching shows. L throws tantrums so many times a day. Our neighbors probably hear the hysterics every time I have to put her in the car. Oh well! I feel like L is physically exhausting and DS is emotionally exhausting at 4.

king26, similar but replace tablet with my phone. She wants to watch my videos and look at my pics all the time. I have had to hide my phone too ugh. I noticed she has been losing interest a little bit recently so hopefully it’s just a phase. Her climbing has gotten worse! It’s so annoying, stressful and exhausting having to tell her no or take her off the chairs eleventy times a day. I’m actually looking forward to going to work for a break today 😂

He has tried to jump off our bed but i think he understands not too

Yes to tantrums and climbing. She super loves to stand on the kitchen table and reach the light. 😬
But she is also super sweet. She brought me 2 applesauce pouches earlier. One for her, one for DS. And she is such a big helper. She loves to clean up toys and attempt to clean up spills. This is one of my favorite ages because they WANT to help. Minus the 20 min tantrums about not getting her way.

He gives big kisses and hugs too. I love that aspect but hate the tantrums.

Tantrums here are crazy. I hope once J has more early words it settles down but I am not hopeful. His obsession right now is the stairs. He is fine going up but not down. And he such a hotness anyway walking into ways and tripping on air...
but he is also hilarious and very sweet. He loves to clean and his big sister does too. She is almost three I hope this lasts.

Also, j sleep patterns are killing me. He is all over the place. He will sttn then get up 2 times the next night then once yhe following but get up at 530 for the day. The only predictable thing is nap at 2 for around 2 hours and bed at 8. Everything else is a toss up and its wearing on me

She doesn’t wake more than once if she doesn’t STTN but there is no rhyme or reason to it and the early waking sucks. If she wasn’t so exhausting all day long it wouldn’t be as horrible 😂

Toddler H's sleep is weird too. He's taken to waking around 2, standing and crying, and then he doesn't go back down for several hours. He only does this like twice a week, but I wonder what's up. I told dh we need to switch to size six diapers bc he's always really full when he wakes up.
We are expecting number three in October, and it's a girl!! Ds1 was initially, "Nope! No girls for me," but now he's warmed up to the idea. Toddler H has no idea what's going on, lol.

OMG daycare sent my 2 yearold and j home with lollipops. Both have been crazy. I finally got her down and MH is struggling with J who is a terrible sleeper to begin with. He will sleep through the night once a month if we are lucky. Meanwhile my 2 1/2 moth old is sleeping and trying to sit up. She did it for about 20 seconds yesterday! I need her to slowdown!
And J is finally starting to use more re words which has also meant less tantrums the last few days.

My kid has hit such a sleep regression that I want to run away 😩 addymac, I feel so bad because I know you have been dealing with this shit for awhile. Is N doing any better? She wouldn’t go down at all last night and refused to nap so was a disaster. After 4 attempts, she finally went to bed at 10:00. She woke at 3:45 but did go back down till almost 7:30. She then fought nap today screaming like crazy for 30 mins until she finally gave up and fell asleep. I’ll be pulling my hair out tonite if it’s a repeat performance.

jt2378 omg I’m so sorry. That sounds exhausting. He... not really. It’s really frustrating bc he slept great last night. Bc he went to sleep with the babysitter. He went to bed on his own. And slept until 530am. But for me and dH he is still screaming unless we stay in there with him until he falls asleep and when he wakes up if we aren’t there he screams bloody murder until we come in. 🙄 at this point it’s obvious he’s being an asshole bc if he can do it for the nanny or our other babysitter, he can do it. But gone are the days of STTN. He’s done it three times in the last two months. THREE TIMES IN TWO MONTHS 😭😢😫😩

That seriously sounds like hell addymac, I’m so sorry! I can’t even imagine. I feel like a jerk complaining about sleep woes when you have been dealing with it for so long. I hope he eases up on you and YH soon. Kids really know how to push you to the brink sometimes 😭😭

Oh jt2378 don’t even worry. Complain away. It’s exhaustinn and frustrating no matter how long or short you’re dealing with it. Mostly I’m just like 🤷🏻♀️ At this point. I may try to make him CIO for naps again bc I really depend on the two hour nap to get shit done around the house and shit. I’m just dragging my feet bc I’m a sucker. And I’ve accepted my fate of this sleepless life.

Thats the only thing i have going for me is that j goes right back down.

Is there a sleep regression at this age? J had 2 really bad weeks of noghttime sleep but now the past week has been awesome. I think he was trying to work some things out. Hopefully its the same for you and sleep gets better. We are having trouble getting j down for nap but once he is down he sleeps 2 hours.
