Bear with me. DS 3 in December.
Mon-Wed he's at nursery. We wake him up about 7.45am, he has no nap in the day, and we usually put him to bed about 6.45pm. No problems with his sleep, unlike DD.
Lately (for the last 3 weeks) - a weird thing has been happening. Thurs-Sat he might go to bed a bit later...7.30pm, say. He's in his own room next to ours. He used to wake up and yell for us (still in a cot).
Now we don't hear anything.
This week, I went into his room Thurs morning at 10AM, and then he stirred.
I can't seem to get out of him if he's actually sleeping/chilling or whatever. His eyes were all puffy, like he's had too much sleep!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining since his sister has me up from 5.30am onwards so an extra few hours with just the one is lovely...but...I said to OH should we be concerned so on Sat OH went into him, but instead of waking him like I do, throw door open, 'Morning!' loudly, open curtains etc.. OH crept in at 9.45am (mainly to see if he was awake) - touched him lightly on the arm and DS nearly had a friggin heart attack!
He doesn't sleep in the day at all and hasn't for months. We're OK with this and Thur-Sun make sure we have 'chill time' - if his sister is sleeping we cuddle on sofa and can relax OK.
So am I OK to think he must need this sleep then? I mean, if he's not shouting for us to come and get him then he's alright just left there then, is he?! It just feels weird.
And of course the real question is - if I didn't go in there at 10am, my god, how long would he lie there?!
