He's about 18 mos and has been walking for a long time. It's the weirdest thing! He was settled in quite well. Eating has always been an issue, here and at home, but we continue to work on it as a team. He was sleeping a good 2.5 hrs (2 minimum). All of a sudden, he's just stopped sleeping. He's not being bad. He lays there for a while, then eventually sits up and talks to himself. I guess that in itself isn't great, but I can't tie the child down to the bed, ya know? I've been going down every 20 mins or longer to lay him back down and be firm with him. I'm thinking tomorrow I'm just going to leave him. Of COURSE that'll be the one day he has a massive dirty diaper during nap I can't imagine for the life of me what he can possibly be doing to entertain himself for all that time in the dark. You'd think boredom alone would knock him out!

I dunno.... Mum feels terrible and that it's all her fault...berates herself. And really, she's lovely, a great parent and doing the best she can. He's just a challenging boy in some ways. I will say, he seems to be somewhat physically sensitive and, to me, a tad fragile. He seems to react to things more than I've seen others do. For example, after his previous vaccination, he got a terrible infection in the injection site requiring antibiotics. That's unusual, no? He just seems more susceptible to things, which makes me wonder even more about this being a reaction of some sort.
