It's 4:15 am here and my 3 yr old son has been awake for three hours. I am so afraid he is awake because he is sick and will v*. After he had been awake for an hour he said he had to go potty, and although he is potty trained wears pull-ups at night. When I took him potty he had poo'ed a little "rock" so he's obviously constipated because he went in his pants (hardly ever does). But after I changed his pull-up, he still wouldn't sleep. Right now he is lying on the love seat staring at the ceiling and I am over here on the couch on my laptop praying he will go to sleep.


And, isn't it crazy how this emet goes, but I'm so afraid he's sick, I even experimented by lettting him get up and play legos for a while. He seemed fine. But I just hate where my mind goes, especially at night. I just keep watching him like a hawk; when he yawns I'm worried he's getting ready to v*. I give him 10 minutes or so but then when I see his eyes are still open I ask him why he's still awake and he just smiles at me.


Now we've both been up half the night; I have to get up in 2 hours to get my older to off to school, but I wonder if he finally falls asleep if I should keep him home from pre-school if only because he hasn't slept.


Thanks for reading if you have. I'm just so nervous I needed to get it off my chest. Does anybody else do this with their kids? I hate how I just assume he is awake because he is sick.
