Sleep...
...or rather lack of it. I have an unpublished post that I wrote last week about how Theo's sleeping had improved so much - he even slept through one night from 7pm to 7am. I was still having to visit him once or twice a night but it was so much better than it had been. I even wrote a list of things that I thought had helped improve the situation (for the record, these were stopping all night feeds, putting a cot bumper on his cot and responding to distressed cries not to every single shout.)
I didn't get round to finishing the post and it's just as well because we have just had a horrible week of sleepless nights thanks to Theo having what must surely be The Worlds Worst Cough & Cold. I've been at my parents for the last four days and Theo has spent much of each night sleeping (sort of) on the sofa bed with me. I've had trouble getting him to sleep and getting him to stay asleep. Tuesday night was totally awful as was Wednesday night. Things have improved slightly since then but it's still not great. I just really, really hope that it is all down to his cold and once he's over it, he'll settle down again.
At least Freyja is back to sleeping again now that her cough has gone and though she does sometimes get out of bed when we first say goodnight to her, once she's asleep she is staying there - so far anyway. She is still totally into her 'special bed'. I changed her duvet cover today and it's a whole new love affair all over again.

ah, good news about Freyja and her bed. Tbh, I think that's a case of pure parent panic at suddenly not being able to contain their child at night and losing sleep. I was exactly the same :)
Sam's pretty much dry at night these days too - in fact, he's better during the night than he is during the day. It doesn't help that he can't say that he wants to go to the loo!
Yeah, she's been really great with the bed.
Still in nappies at night though - and doesn't seem to be ready to stop them. I think I'll need to give her her milk before we go upstairs to bed and take her for a wee before I go to bed and see how she goes.
Good on Sam though! That's great.
