Sleeping through the night...

We've definitely have hit a rough patch with sleeping through the night.  I feel bad for them (and not gonna lie, us too) because they are just not sleeping very well through the night and it's affecting them during the day.  They are just so tired and drag the first half of the day and of course when parents don't get any sleep, our patience level is very low.  Whats hard at this age is that you never know when their this young what the problem may be because they can't quite communicate with you.  For them, I think it could be a combination of all of these: teething (2yr molars), scary dreams, waking up and not knowing what they are in/where they are, drinking too much water and peeing through everything, scared of the dark/shadows and a little seperation anxiety...and then sometimes, they get so upset that getting back to sleep is almost impossible. 

Thankfully we've had more good nights than bad, but it still breaks my heart when the bad nights happen.  It's so nice to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel with TBT (aka: toddler bed transitioning). They are definitely getting more used to the idea and each day does get a little easier and easier! I think as soon as they get completely used to it, they will be back to their normal sleeping habits and all will be well.
