Night 25

Both boys were totally and completely out of control tonight before bed. We literally wrestled their pajamas on them and offered them everything; blankets, pillows, toys, etc. to put in their beds, but both refused. They screamed and screamed for almost 10 minutes. I went in to see if they were ready to be reasonable. Alex asked for pajama pants (which I put on him), a blanket and pillow. He seemed ok. Ian still refused anything, and  had thrown everything out of his bed. I could see the lovey on a stool by his bed and knew he could reach it and get it in his bed if he wanted. Finally, they calmed down enough to talk. When I went in to get the recorder, I saw Ian was covered with his "dots" blanket, and I assume he had is his lovey also.

I'm thinking maybe when I go up to bed, I'll leave some water by Ian's bed. The poor guy must be thirsty after all the crying he did! I am sad he was so thirsty. He was just so out-of-control, that we had to leave him to calm down.
