Sleepy Time Battles

My new favorite picture. So sweet and cute when they are both sleeping... but why is Hunter in our bed?
I'm not sure exactly what happened. He's been sleeping thru the night and going to sleep on his own for months now. Once in a rare while he wakes in the middle of the night but would usually go right back to sleep. Well, about about a week ago he decided to change the system. Started with a few night wakings. I blamed it on a day or two of missed naps. Then we had a night where he was up for 3 hours! Would not go back to sleep on his own and screamed, screamed, screamed when we left him. I brought him in bed with us and he FINALLY went back to sleep. He ended up on Adam's arm and pillow and slept great there. This is a first because anytime in the past we've tried to get him back asleep in our bed he would never go to sleep, just want to play. And yes he was fine in the morning not sick or anything. The middle of the night clinging turned to nap and bedtime clinginess. He just wanted to be rocked to sleep and the second he felt me move to get up he would freak out. This made for a few long days and nights.
It's gotten a little bit better in the past day or so. But he still will not go to sleep on his own for naps or bed. Hopefully we'll work our way back to that soon. I'm not sure what brought this on but I'm hoping things continue to get back to the normal sleepy patterns we had before. Sigh.... I've learned just when you think you've got one thing down, he likes to shake things up!
