haha, mine does this, but more frequently then once a month... And yes it is usually just after I fall asleep... hang in there, I am sure one day we will miss them wanting us to make everything better with a little cuddle ((HUGS))

I dont know how it works; if I did I would be a very wealthy man but kids have radar that far surpasses anything NASA has thought of. They can be at the other end of town yet they know when you are sleeping or busy doing something. My son will spend hours in his room playing until I start a project or sit down to watch a movie. I just get started when he runs in with a million questions or wanting something. I am sure if we could figure out how this works and could reproduce it we would be the most sought after people in the world. Even after they move away from home they still know when you want to be alone or when you have prepared a special dinner. They can go for weeks with no contact; then when you think you can spend an evening alone or enjoy a special meal alone. The doorbell rings or they just walk in and just say thought I would drop by and say hi, they finally leave after dinner is over which you felt obligated to invite them to share. You finally saved enough money to go away for the weekend; you are about to leave when they show up. You tell them where you were going and they tell you how much the grandkids would like that. This is just to make you feel guilty so you will invite them along.
But dont despair; They will grow out of it by the time they are 40!!

LOL this happened to me as well when my 9 year old was little., drove us nuts! But now at 9 I miss the times when he would need me at night. We now have a 3 year old that comes into our bed, and it is ok, because before we know it he to will not nee us at night. Ive come to love the nights when my little one is in my bed.

Wow, that sounds way too familiar. It is bizzare how often my husband and I finally start to doze off and Callie starts wimpering. They must have a special sense because it happens way too often at our house!

they can sense us trying to find times for ourselves...kinda like when you make a cuppa tea then all off a sudden everyone needs your help and you end up leaving half drunken cuppas all over the house LOL

And if anyone is curious, this occurs with everyone...even in a pediatrician's household. Just one of life's ironic twists.

Count yourself lucky. Due to the financial ruin left behind by divorce I am sharing a one bedroom apartment with my two year old. His bed is right there in the same room. He knows when I come in there and wakes up everytime. I have to let him fall asleep and put him back on his bed. GAAA! I have to remind myself it's only temporary!

happens with us too. And I have no idea way. They just are so aware of everything even in their sleep!
KIDS!!

Anyone notice they have this ability whenever mom and dad would like to be intimate? My son, who is 26 months has awaken almost every time since he was born!!! We are trying to make it so he is not an only child but somehow he knows. How does he know?!!
