Excuses, excuses

Ever since Julia was born, Will has been having some trouble sleeping. He used to always sleep through the night, but now he often wakes up calling out for one of us (usually Daddy). His requests are typically quick and easy to deal with, so we just go to him, deal with the issue, and all go back to sleep. Unfortunately, he keeps waking up almost every night. On one hand, it's so much easier to just spend two minutes and solve the problem each night. But on the other hand, I worry that we are instilling some bad habits, and I wonder if he'll ever get out of this "phase."

Each night he has something that he needs or some reason that he is calling out for us. Here is a list of just some of the excuses we've heard:
  • My ear/eye/head/tummy hurt.
  • My nose is running.
  • Cover me up.
  • Turtle under covers. (Turtle is one of the animals he sleeps with.)
  • My nose is running.
  • There's something in my mouth.
  • Baby Julia wake me up. (This is rarely true.)
  • Turn the sound machine down.
  • Leave the door open.
  • I scared.
  • It's dark in here.
  • I need some medicine.
  • Change my diaper.

At least he's not hurting on creativity...it's always something new!
