Night Night

Getting Raf to sleep lately has been quite a challenge - we have theories and ideas as to why he's not even contemplating sleep until 8:30pm which is running about a hour later than usual. Could he be growing out of his afternoon nap, or the longer, lighter days or just not wanting to say goodbye to his trains which have been regular guests in the bed again - which is OK for the most part unless they are the ones that make noises which can go off and wake him up when he does fall asleep! So it's late by the time he starts to wind down, a few books are attempted and he likes 'Stick Man' at the moment - and then I switch the light off and we now have a nightly round of 'Night, night.' This can go on for sometime - tonight it was at least 30 times and just as you think he's nodded off - yep - another 'night, night' comes out of the darkness and the rattle of a train and I know I'll be in the bed for another ten minutes or so. It's very sweet though and one of those times that is oh so brief and you hope you don't forget in the great scheme of things...
