Too few naps and Two front teeth!

When I arrived at daycare this afternoon, Isaac was rubbing his eyes and had a little runny nose. It was evident that he was way overtired. "We tried to put him to sleep in so many different ways," his two teachers announced. His first nap was an hour in the morning (good) and then a half hour a couple hours later (not terrible), but that was it! In contrast, when Isaac is with Josh, he easily sleeps 3 hours a day. I know it must be hard to have all those babies and tend to their needs, but it makes me feel sad when Isaac is not getting enough sleep in a day.

As I put on the Bjorn baby carrier (we walk to and from daycare), the main teacher, Dana, told me that Isaac's teeth are coming in nicely. Confirmation! Just this morning, I told Danielle that I thought his teeth were coming in so I felt excited that my baby expert agreed. The poor guy is nursing in a vigorous way that makes me think he's trying to soothe himself. I can't believe that my baby is going to have TWO teeth soon. It looks like the two bottom center ones. I don't know how long this stage lasts where the teeth look like spots on the gums, but I would think they'd emerge by this weekend. Right?

The other comment Dana made is that Isaac likes to practice rolling back to front and front to back. He does that home, so I love hearing that Isaac feels comfortable and is given the space to move around at daycare. Last week, she told us that Isaac was talking a lot. That's no surprise to us--he's really loud. This weekend, he was so loud that he made Matt and Maura's baby cry because his voice startled her (I should mention that she later cried at the sound of an unbalanced washing machine).

So while I really like the teachers and that Isaac explores the daycare space, I am unhappy with Isaac's sleep situation. I'm not really sure what steps I should take to help him get better sleep while there. Does anyone have any ideas?

Ahh--at 10:15 Isaac woke up with a strange painful cry and after consulting our sleep book, I went in and nursed him. Is this how the night will go? I just sat down again and his cries are starting. Baby Tylenol?
