At least she's not crying....
Not exactly sure what is with our kid, but she tends to wake up in the middle of the night and talk to herself. Or the binkys. Considering it's just her, a blanket and one or two binkys at any one time in the crib, chances are good that she's not talking to the cat or the dog. Then again, the cat could be sitting there, in the middle of the room, conspiring with the child while we sleep, blissfully unawares!
We've gotten to the point that when Leda makes a sound in the middle of the night, we tend to "wait-it-out." Meaning, Brock continues to sleep (and sometime snore, depending on which way he's laying at the moment) and I lay there and attempt to determine if it REALLY all that important that I get up out of bed and risk going into her room.
Most nights, she doesn't make a sound (or, we just don't hear a darned thing!) Very rarely, she cries out in the middle of the night, but this is usually one quick cry out, and then nothing...these are the ones that might get me out of bed to go check that she's not tied up by the blanket, can't breath, or if the cat some how lost 10 pounds in the middle of the night and was freakishly able to jump up into the kid's crib and suck the air out of her whilst we slept. It must be just a dream or something that causes this little cry out, but she's usually fast asleep very soon after.
Now, the talking...this happens at least once or twice a week...sometimes, every night of the week. Sometimes it's between 12 and 2 am, sometimes it is 5am in the morning. It will last for at least 15-30 minutes (it could last longer, but I usually fall to sleep within 30 minutes!)
She doesn't cry out. She doesn't seem to need us to get her up. She doesn't seem to want us to come in. She just quietly talks to herself.
Last night, she did this, at 12:14AM (At least, that is when I woke up!) But it wasn't just talking...there was squealing involved this time! Happy squealing, that woke me up at 14 minutes past 12 in the morning.
I fell back to sleep within about 15 minutes. She had quieted down. She slept until quarter to 7 this morning. At least she does sleep later in the am when she has these little sessions in the middle of the night!
I would just LOVE to know what is going on in there! Maybe she and the cat ARE conspiring against us. Who knows!
