Wide Awake Again!!!

The Little One decided to have one of her manic episodes last night. After a difficult feed, she slept on and off from 10.30pm until about 2am. Then, that was it, screaming, laughing, napping, crying, yelling until 9am. Poor Cat got zero sleep and I decided the living room couch would give me a few hours respite, but it was not to be, I could still hear her and was unable to sleep.It's hard to understand why exactly she does this. It did not help that her routine that evening suffered owing to Cat wanting to meet up with friends in the evening. But I don't think this was it. Possibly, a day since her final jab, her body is suffering with the after effects - although she shows no signs of fever or illness. It could be, that at 4 months old, her emotional development is growing rapidly and when she is overstimulated during the daytime (she finally got to meet her Aunty Janet and there was also a trip to Cat's workplace - all very stimulating activities) sometimes it manifests itself as a night of very noisy wakefulness. Cat and I are resigned to being bleery eyed and foul tempered for the time being until she settles down into the 'pattern' again.
