Listening

As I sit here listening to the tropical storm type wind outside all I want to do is curl up in my nice warm be and sleep the night away.  What's stopping you?, you might ask.
Well, my precious 1 year old who is struggling to sleep. 

Here is one of the struggles for a kiddo with sensory issues.  Something that worked last week doesn't work this week.  We are playing the ever popular "What will help Mason sleep tonight?" game sometimes it's the "What does Mason need?" game but the sleep game seems to be the most frustrating for all.  See he WANTS to sleep just as much as we WANT him to sleep, but his senses need more then we are offering and here in lies the root of our game. 

We rock...he wakes
We put down...he wakes
We bounce...he wakes
We move him to our bed...he wakes
Even when he does sleep with us he is so restless

The poor kiddo needs his sleep as much as he wants it.

But we will prevail eventually, It's just exhausting and frustrating, and sad, and overwhelming, and sad, and sad.  I want to provide for this precious baby all that he needs and yet in this case we haven't figured it out yet. We are thinking Mason may be getting a vibrating matress for Christmas...

How can you help?
Well I'm so glad you asked :o)
Can you please join us in praying for the wisdom to help our baby boy sleep or be comforted while he's awake and wanting to sleep, or whatever it is that the Lord needs to show us to help fufill Mason's needs.  We are listening Lord! We thank you in advance for your prayers.
