[ - ] Almost 3 year old woke up today at 4:15 because he had to pee. Stayed up. Usually wakes up at 7:15. He has camp today from 9-1 and it's a full day of running around with sprinkles and wading pools and lunch. WWYD? On a regular day I would put him down to nap by 11:30 at the latest. He's going to be a wreck. Should I pick him up from camp before lunch? Let him stay the whole time? 2 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

let him stay the whole time. He will probably be having too much fun to notice how tired he is. Expect him to crash when you pick him up or earlier this evening [ Reply | More

I would ask them at camp drop off if you can pick him up at 12 or so. Though he'll probably be fine for them, wired for you later! [ Reply | More

I think you should make peace with whatever school your dc is currently set to attend in the fall. It's a very long shot that dc will get into the school(s) you want. [ Reply | More

DH has lost 25lbs and was able to wean off his medication for pre-diabetes. Definitely try the ricotta desserts - they taste great. And really make sure you get enough protein, or you won't feel full enough. [ Reply | More

test her again in half hour - should have brought it down. Try & remember fever is body's way of fighting infection and so is actually a good thing. Meds are just to make her less miserable. [ Reply | More

[ - ] My friend has a 4 yr old boy who is very active. She told me about a problem she's having and I didn't know what to say. Tried googling but maybe you can help. He's been waking up in the night and hitting or kicking her, then lays right back down and goes back to sleep. His eyes are open but it's like he's doing this in his sleep. Any advice? BTDT? 14 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

It's not necessarily a night terror. Ferber's book has a section on this, but i forget the name. My son did the same thing, but when he was younger (2.5-3). It was like he was possessed by a demon and that is just how Ferber says you recognize it. [ Reply | More

She gets overtired during the day and at night wakes up and tries to hit or kick you? Or she tries to hit or kick when she's overtired during the day. My friend did say that her ds will not take naps at home. [ Reply | More

They are called night terrors and pretty common. They are more disturbing for the mom than the child since the child is actually, literally asleep and won't remember anything. Have her discuss w/ped or read about it in baby books. [ Reply | More

google night terrors. My dc did this at age 3. He was asleep but looked awake and was thrashing around. For us, what worked was that we would just turn on the light in his room to wake him up. As soon as he woke up for real, he'd lay right down and go right back to sleep. I also read that sleeping without socks and your feet uncovered helped (weird I know)...we tried it but it didn't seem to stop it but you never know.... [ Reply | More

if there's not, you'll figure it out. but there probably is a washer dryer in the basement or something like that. it's just a summer house. you'll have fun. don't stress over this. so not worth it. [ Reply | More
