2 year olds, man

Anyone else going through a recently-turned 2 year old sleep regression? Little girl cries when we leave at bedtime and wakes up at night crying for us. Really hard to function with minimal sleep—and having flashbacks to the newborn phase (the worst). Thought we had a great sleeper but here we are.

I’m sure our older kid did this too at this age and I just forgot, but man, this just feels rough with work and other life responsibilities not really caring that you’re getting only a few hours of sleep.

Hard part is I’ve been waking up early, getting back into shape and have felt great. This is temporary I know, it just feels like a big step back when it was already taking all the discipline I have to take of things of my family, my work and my health in a given day.

Just needed to vent and see who else is (back) in the trenches. Thanks for listening.
