Party. My crib. 3 am...

Ok, what gives? My kid has been sleeping through the night for weeks now, months even. For the past few days he's been waking up at 3 am ready to party. Doesn't want to eat, just wants to chit chat and roll around. Unfortunately he likes to chit chat at the top of his lungs and wake mommy up. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful that he is "self soothing" and keeping himself occupied and entertained in the wee hours of the morning, but I just wish he'd do it a bit more quietly! Momma needs her sleep! And it sure doesn't help that when you go in to check on him, he gives you this great toothless grin that would melt even the sleepiest of hearts. After partying all night long last night, I actually had to wake him up to eat!! And I believe he was ticked off at me for doing so. Not sure who he's taking after here. His dad and I both love our sleep and usually get there way too early for being as young as we are. Seriously, we have the nocturnal habits of the elderly! So where did this behavior come from? I'm blaming Grandma and Grandpa. He stayed the night there on Saturday. Perhaps they're the late night partiers? Humm...
