Obviously a baby is hard. But when 7 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 3: once he started sleeping properly, we thought, okay, dun, dusty, 8 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 3: you've got one. Now we just sleep through the night. 9 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 3: So we have to have this new and putting into 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 3: bed used to be so easy.

Of course, 19 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: then I'd always be by the walls so she was 20 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: next to me. Then it was like they're like spirit level. 21 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,319 Speaker 2: You start to move by bit to try and how. 22 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: Am I going to get out the bloody bed? 23 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: Because then suddenly then I'd be commando crawl out the 24 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: whole thing. I was just dread nighttimes and I and 25 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: then she we was like, where are you going?

Used to be so good. This is 34 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: how it is. 35 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 2: Suddenly what worked yesterday, they're not the same kids, Like, can't. 36 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: You do like a factory reset? On account of the phone. 37 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 3: I've tried to explain to him. I actually said, you 38 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 3: used to go to sleep so much. 39 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: He was trying reason a logic part of the brain 40 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: that doesn't exist. 41 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, as if I don't know what I was 42 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 3: hoping for. 43 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: Why a great mental frame you've given me. 44 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 4: There that you just get into a routine and get 45 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 4: a normal and then they change. That this will happen 46 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 4: for many years. And don't make the mistake that Chris 47 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 4: and I did, because you know, I was doing bricky 48 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 4: radio and sleep was just so important, so important. Just 49 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 4: put her in our bed with us, now, do not 50 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 4: do that, because she'll be in there till she's. 51 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: You do cave in and do that. That is a 52 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: tough No. 53 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 3: He's never come and slept in the bed, but anytime 54 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 3: he's tried, he has been too excited that everybody's there 55 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: in the bed. Yeah, it is exactly. This is awesome, guys. 56 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: Why haven't we done this before? So much more fun. 57 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: It's for you guys. None of us getting sleep. 58 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: And that's the great thing about it, because you don't 59 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 2: have anything to do during the day. You want to 60 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,839 Speaker 2: get up in a couple of hours time. I think 61 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: at the moment, you've got to lean into the dinosaur. 62 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 2: And it is so inch because actually you're right those 63 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: words he's saying, like dinosaur names are really long and complicated. 64 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: How can they grasp that? 65 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: I don't know how he's collecting that. 66 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then during the nursery they're still not doing ball. 67 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 2: Right and it comes down with his big wind in 68 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: Stegosaurus to rnosaurs wrecked. 69 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 3: So I've got the dinosaur bed sheets up. I reckon, 70 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: that's the next thing. 71 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: A dinosaur up the bedroom and that and really lean 72 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: into that. And he loves that. And see how he 73 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: it's on with good luck. Look Christian Connall Show Podcast, 74 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: thank you very much. 75 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: Everyone is trying to help Jack and his wife out 76 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: the moment with their two year old son, Gordy, who, 77 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: for some unknown reason just suddenly doesn't like his bed anymore. 78 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 2: I'm done with that Bits of losers, Christian. Can you 79 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 2: ask Jack?

But it seems to make it smaller 85 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: and cozier for them. Maybe he goes back. Maybe he 86 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: does that instead and swaps the beds. 87 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 3: That makes sense. Why he would crawl into the cot. 88 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 3: Maybe it feels it's too big. 89 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: It's more contained and like it's a nest for him. 90 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: Like he's into the dinosaurs at the moment. They used 91 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: to have nests, didn't they did? They sit on dinosaur eggs? 92 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, dinosaur egg that sounds familiar. 93 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jack, why not try glowing the dark dinosaur stickers 94 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: above his bed? 95 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: You know what's funny about I'm just still scrolling through 96 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 3: dinosaur bed sheets is maybe a way to make him 97 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: like his bed again.
