Just wanted to touch base about Mac again. I am on Mac watch tonight (self imposed). He got up around 3:30... He couldn't shake it off so I went in and calmed him down - little guy was hanging over the side standing on the bottom part of the rail. Geezzz!
Might be teeth, might be scared - I don't know. I tried massaging his jaw muscles and stroking his hair. He seemed to like that.
He was definitely tired. I comforted him, got him something to drink and laid him down again. After a while when this wasn't working, he was calling out to me and Kelli - Kelli came in to help. She changed him and when he tried to leave the room, I put him back in the crib and explained it was time to go back to sleep and that Mommy and Daddy had to go to sleep too.
Kelli and I left the room and at his request, left the door open. It worked for a bit, then he decided to get out of the crib. I went in, calmed him down and told him to go to sleep.
That was 1/2 hour ago. Some calling, maybe climbing out and he has since fallen asleep on the floor or something. No sound for a while now, so I am going to bed.
Start of a process... I just hope I can figure it out.
