Okay, I have a new problem.....

Jeremy is now waking at two and refusing to go back to sleep. Its almost three, im exhausted, and he will NOT go to sleep. Im afraid to say I spanked him... I just was on the verge of tears. I am NOT a spanker, but he was being agressive and angry and swatted me in the face and grabbed my face out of what i think was anger, and i responded with a spank. I feel incredibly guilty. Now, I didn't spank him hard, but i spanked him nonetheless and he cried.

I am just at the end of my rope.. Im used to going to bed around one or two and getting up with him around eight thirty nine, but now hes been getting up and not going to bed until around four. Which leaves me with like, four hours of sleep. THIS IS NOT WORKING.

I think, as much as I hate to do this, that tomorrow will be in the crib. I think that I need to try a modified cry it out.. obviously im not going to let him cry for hours but this is not working, for either of us. I am exhausted all the time and hes not getting the sleep he needs.

I am at the end of my rope.
