How I Got My Toddler to Sleep Through The Night

....ummm, not so fast.

I was going to originally write a blog post entitled "How I Got My Toddler to Sleep Through The Night" today, that was, until he stopped sleeping through the night two nights ago. It was going to be great, I had all these great tips for rookie parents on  how to get your toddler on the right path to a good night's sleep for everyone. But as I sit here after putting my toddler to bed tonight, I see him on the baby monitor jumping up and down, crying. Not sleeping. I better go up to his room.....I'll be right back...

What Is My Toddler Trying To Tell Me?

Trying to decipher toddler talk

My 15-month old son has learned this new thing. He looks up at me and keeps pointing to the palm of his other hand and I've learned that this means "more". "More" in the sense that if he finishes a piece of watermelon and he wants another piece, that's when he motions for "more" if he's still hungry. I don't know exactly where he learned this gesture, it could have been at daycare or he came up with it on his own, but either way, it's another sign that my baby is growing up.
