Shy
His parents told me that he has some trouble sleeping at night. He wakes up frequently and sometimes has trouble going back to sleep. He pees through his diapers a lot, and wakes up crying. They live in a 2 bedroom home. Their older son has his own room (12 year old) and the little guy sleeps in his parents' room.
His parents said that he goes to sleep at 9pm and wakes up at 6am on the FT daycare weeks. On the PT daycare weeks, he sleeps in until 8am. I think he naps at 1:30pm at home.
I have him PT this week, so I will see how that goes.
On Friday, he napped all morning. I put him down for a little nap around 8:30am because he was rubbing his eyes, yawning...etc... He didn't wake up until 11:30am. This was after several tries at getting him up. I even carried him out of the playpen, into the living room. I tried standing him up but he fell like jelly in my arms. At 10:30am, I gave up. I checked in on him because he was kicking his legs. I thought he was awake, but he wasn't. I changed his diaper in the playpen because I noticed it get full. (I take no chances. He peed through a diaper and soaked my playpen the week before). He still didn't wake up. At 11:30am, he woke up by himself. We had lunch, played for a while. I allowed him to stay awake until 1pm as I didn't want him to disrupt the others. He's not even 2, so he doesn't really understand that you have to be quiet during certain times. He knows to be quiet in the play pen only. He stayed quiet in there the whole time. He sang to himself in the begining, talked to himself. Never cried out to me to come get him. Around 2:30pm, he was quiet. I assumed he fell asleep. At 3pm, I had to get him up so that his mom could pick him up. When I went in, he was just laying there, about to fall asleep. I felt really bad getting him up. Once he was out, he wanted to play with my son. They played until his mom arrived.
Physically and behaviourly.... He seems to be going through Terrible 2s. Testing his limits. I don't see anything out of the ordinary, really. He throws his plate/bowl on the floor when he is done eating, but I don't think that is the worst thing he could be doing. lol. He has started to hit a little bit, but he is still a very compassionate little boy. If he hears another dck cry, he runs up to them and asks if they are ok and gives them a hug. He still has interest in activities (when he is not too tired).
Developmentally.... I'd say he's on target. He is starting to talk more. He is actually forming sentences. He's learned some french words (thanks to all the french speaking that happens here).
I think his sleep problems at night should be addressed. They should find another solution. Unfortunately, sleeping alone isn't an option for him, and I think that is what he needs. He always sleeps better here when he is alone. Unfortunately, that will not be possible here as more children arrive in my daycare.
