Sleep

It amazes me what a hard time Will has with sleep. The doctor has tried giving us tips on sleep and every night is some type of argument. Research we have been reading on autism and sleep has said that autistic children have melatonin levels that are reversed of what they should be. I could definitely see that! We are contemplating trying crushed melatonin but have no idea if he will find it "hidden" as he has before.

I love sleep ... I actually think I crave it. Maybe that's why God blessed me with children over 1 year of age.

My heart breaks for him at night but I remind Nick that we have to be strong and walk away - as hard as that is sometimes. Each night he ends up on the mattress and sleeping bag at the foot of our bed, but I guess that is better than wandering the house at all hours!

Tonight I pray for sleep!
