...and then there were two!

JLTs (Jet Lagged Toddlers)

Let's just say that if I were to curse someone now, I wouldn't wish for pimply boils on the nose or a hairy face. I'll just say very loudly, "I wish a jet lagged toddler upon your sorry behind! Wait. Make that TWO!"

Thank goodness we only have to deal with one JLT.

On Sunday night, our JLT slept at 2.30am and woke up at 9am. On Monday, he slept at 8.30pm and made his parents think the worst was over, then brought them tumbling back to earth when he woke at 12am and stayed up until 3am wanting to play and eat noodles. (Go figure!) Yesterday, his parents thought they'd be "clever" and bring him to the Night Safari to keep him up until 10ish or so, then put him to bed, hoping he'll sleep through the night. Unfortunately, the JLT had other conflicting plans which he didn't care to share with his parents.

The JLT started getting really cranky at about 830pm at the bat enclosure. Of course, his insipid parents forgot that that was about 12.30pm UK time, or nap time. Doh! So after about 20 minutes of incessant crying, DN finally fell asleep in PF's arms as we took the tram back. Just as we strapped him into the car seat, he woke up. From his nap. Ready to take on the world. And spend the next few hours wide awake.

JLT slept at 12.30am last night. It's still too late, but at least he slept through the night. If we try to push his bed time 1-2 hours earlier each night, we should be back on SG time by Saturday I think?
