Sam and Sky had gone for a sleep over at Grandma's giving us a rare night with only 1 small person to contend with. Loki loves having some time where he gets Mummy and Daddy all to himself, he could play on the trampoline with no big brother and sister knocking him over and jumping on him, and watch whatever he wanted on the telly.
Then it was bed time, he fell asleep cuddled up to Daddy on the sofa and went up to bed around 7pm. We made ourselves some tea, watched some TV and were enjoying our child free evening when he woke up again at only 9pm. Evening over. Daddy spent the next hour trying to get him to go back off, only for him to wake up every time he tried to put him down, so Mummy's turn.
We cuddled up in Loki's bed (cot bed=squished Mummy with neck in ridiculous position) 45 minutes of snuggling, stroking his face and rubbing his back later, and he finally gave in! So at 10:45 we went to bed. Loki has never slept in his own bed for more than 4 hours so we were expecting a wake up call around 2:30. But it never came. I woke with bleary eyes and picked up my phone and was amazed to see the time..4:15am and the house was still silent. No crying, no toddler crawling up the stairs. Silence. Worried I went to the boys room, and there was Loki, still sound asleep in his own bed. I crept back upstairs. I woke again at 6am. Loki still asleep. I couldnt sleep after that and ended up reading my book until he came up to our bedroom at 7am..yes 7am!!
Finally Loki has slept through the night! Now we just have to hope (pray) it wasn't a 1 off...
