A Sleepless Mom in need
Carter is a kid who likes to have a regular schedule and routine. When ever he gets out of his routine--from traveling or the holidays or whatever, it takes me about a week to get him back on schedule. This past month has been crazy, with Christmas and then going to Sierra Vista, and New Year's, everything has been way off schedule. Well it has been almost 3 weeks and we can't seem to get him back on schedule. His naps are on schedule but he is waking up during this night almost every night. It's hard working (presenting in front of people) after being up during the night with your child. Sean and I usually rotate nights but he is going back to school next week so he is going to be extra tired too. Does anyone have any tricks for getting their 2 year old (almost 2 anyways) back into a regular sleeping pattern? I don't know how many more nights I can keep this up!

I am so sorry, not getting enough sleep is the worst. Have you tried putting him to bed a little earlier? I've heard this works for a lot of people. We also make a big deal of the things Kate gets to sleep with, a few books, her blanket, and (still) her sippy. It makes her feel like she's being rewarded for a good job throughout the day and that sleep is her time to collect!
that is the WORST, i am so sorry. i never did figure anything out for this, it generally just works itself out over time. putting him to bed earlier will likely help and if not, i would just let him cry. he'll get the idea after a few nights.
Ella's doing the same thing! If you find out what works, let me know.
