2am

2am and I have been casual aquaintances since I've had kids, but we were never really friends. 2am and I spent a lot of time together when the boys were babies and like all mom's, I was very glad to get rid of 2am once they slept through the night. However, my kids are not like most children. Both boys have a lot of trouble with their sleep cycles and while Ethan improved greatly, Ian has been getting me up at 2am almost nightly the past couple of months. Does he think that 2am and I miss one another? Ian is in the process of giving up his afternoon nap and only takes one a couple times a week. This really messes up his sleep cycle and he wakes up in the middle of the night and is wide awake, ready to start his day. I have informed him in no uncertain terms that our day does not start at 2am but starts when the sun rises. My body, being the traitor that it is, is now so used to getting up at 2am that it wakes me up whether or not a child is screaming. So how does one get rid of an unwanted guest like 2am? I've told 2am that I do not want to be friends and I don't want to be visited but 2am is just not getting it...
