4:00am is what time I gave up on sleep. The first time I was woke up by Gage it was 2:00am. I was then woke up about every 20 minutes from then on. The only thing I can think about is that I only have a tiny bit of the coffee left that Melissa brought me. I have NO CREAMER LEFT either. TGIF because I don't know what I would do if I brew up that beloved pot and ponder what all I have to do today... my brain is absolutely fried and I just cannot think straight.
So since I have a little time, I am going to talk a little about my lack of sleep. Some people like to give my strange advice like, "Make him go back to bed" or "Shut your door" or "Put him on Ritalin" or "Spank his butt"
Seriously... you have got to be joking. Gage has Sensory Processing Disorder. He does not have ADHD. He is not just being naughty. Imagine drinking a bunch of energy drinks or coffee and then being expected to lay down in bed for six hours. That is how it was explained to me by his Pediatrician. There is no medication out there to treat SPD. Our only option is to learn to cope with it. That is why he has OT. As for Bo and Cote, they do better now that they take Melatonin, but like I mentioned before... Gage can fall asleep, he just cannot stay asleep... and Melatonin does not help with that.
So there you have it. I do not mind when people ask me questions, as long as you respect my answers as well :)
