Victim of his parents

Poor Mika! Ever since we had this hot weather in june/juli Mika got used to getting drinks during the night. Multiple times. We thought he needed it and was thirsty, but it ended up becoming a habit. So every night around 1.30 am and around 5.30 am he woke up and got his drink. He also had a drink right before he goes to bed. Often he didn't fell asleep again and even got a re-fill. That's not good, parents should know better!
What happened; often he got so much to drink that his diaper couldn't hold it and we had to change him during the night. And don't get me started about the interrupted sleeppattern!

Last Thursdaynight we were done with it; Mika has to go in rehab... Actually quite sad; he's a victim of his parents...

So last Friday was the first night without drinks. Around 1.30 he woke up, we offered him just a sip from his cup and made clear that it was all he could get. He protested loudly for a whole hour!
Around 5.30 he woke up again and... deja vu! Except for the fact that he protested for 2 hours!

Miraculously he did very well in the past two nights; only woke up around 1.30 am and after a few moments of murmeling and a few cries he fell asleep again by himself! Then he slept till the morning. My compliments!

We hope he'll soon be used to getting asleep again by himself when he wakes up at night!

Have you ever pulled something like this, so your child had to suffer from changing the bad habit? (Please, tell me your story, so I feel less guilty! ;-) )

The many faces of Mika

This kid keeps amazing me with his many different expressions(btw, I love them all!):
