Yeah, we're going through a weird sleep period at the moment as well. Ava in particular keeps waking up screaming but the boys are also having turns. I think they may be starting to have bad dreams and that we are approaching the next stage of disturbed sleep - nightmares. Certainly the boys have developed a, hitherto absent, fear of the dark but this could have more to do with Breda inadvertently locking them in the car, inside the dark garage than with any 'normal' phobia. Chalk up one to bad parenting...

Everyone's bad dreams, but yes, maybe... I thought this sleep thing was meant to get easier?

Getting his first "bad" dreams, maybe??

I think that the biggest change may be potty stuff. Otherwise things are fairly much the same. Also, on the worst night, i had treated him for headlice before his bath and that's a fairly long process...

Same here. Our son (17 months) does the crying-in-his-sleep thing too. It started about two weeks ago. Comforting doesn't work, because he seems to be asleep. So we kind of just stay with him (sitting next to his crib) and put a hand on his back untill he settles. Takes about 20 minutes.

If we are stupid enough to wake him up though, he's desoriented and ANGRY and crying and won't go back to sleep for at least two hours. Feeding him doesn't work (still breastfeeding, and in other situations feeding him back to sleep usually is the easiest solution).

I'm told it's because now that he's starting to learn how to walk his world suddenly became a lot bigger and there's more for him to wrap his mind around. I'm also told it will pass.

With our luck, his twin sister will start the same thing just when he's about to grow out of it, though... ;-)

Has anything big changed in Tricky's routine/life lately?

Oh you must be exhausted. I guess THIS is not something you'll look back on fondly. Hope his night problems don't last TOO much longer. My grandson kept his daddy and mommy up MANY nights I'm afraid with night terrors and tears. Good Luck, I'll keep you my prayers and good thoughts!
