All the family have had colds off and on for it seems like weeks now. My 11month DS is still snotty, but seemed happy and well in himself the last 3 or 4 days, and we have been out and about again.
He's usually a good sleeper, but last night he tossed and turned for a while, then woke up totally at about 3am. He was alert and up and about wanting to play for about an hour. Eventually tiredness kicked in, but he just wouldn't sleep, he tossed and turned when put to bed, half fell asleep in strange positions on the floor after I gave in and let him up again, but it was about another hour before he actually settled. He's then been tossing and turning for most of the rest of the night. At no point did he seem actually distressed (except when I tried to make him stay in bed!) but something was definitely awry. This is really unusual behaviour for him.
Now, he's sleeping soundly. (He would usually have been up at least an hour ago).
We're meant to be going to a toddler group in an hour. Normally I would cancel and let him sleep it off, but I've had a lot on this week, and it's been a pretty boring week for him so far with no activities actually for him except one trip to the park so I really do want to take him. Also I have friends there I'd really like to see.
WWYD? Would you take him anyway so we've done at least one nice thing this week, and he can always sleep in the buggy in a quiet corner if he's really not up for it when we get there, or would you let the poor little mite sleep it off?
(Sorry for the long post!)
