Insomniac

Last night I was startled awake at about 3:00 a.m. Nathaniel was leaning over my bed staring at me. This is probably the 4th time in 2 weeks that this has happened.

I don't understand that kid. He has slept in his own bed just fine for years, and now he can't seem to stay asleep at night. He will get out of bed 4 or 5 times after we have put him to bed and say that he can't sleep. I will check on him when I go to bed and he will be sound asleep. Then he will startle me awake in the middle of the night.

Tonight he came out of his bedroom 2 1/2 hours after we put the kids to bed to tell us he loved us. It was cute the first 3 times. Now it's just exasperating.

I keep hoping this is just a phase...
