Sleep, where are you?

Having a baby equals no sleep. I feel like we have one to three great nights and then a month of bad ones. Currently the issue is one year old molars. He is cranky and has trouble sleeping even with medicine. After a few nights of this Chad and I become quite irritable. I have less and less patience and am less and less fun as a playmate for Spencer. We end up fighting like sibling, Spencer and I. I actually want him watch TV when I feel exhausted like this. (I have learned from some classes that children who watch TV before the age two actually pattern their brains differently. TV doesn’t interest Spencer anyway because that involves being still and he is all go, go, go.) I guess I exaggerated a little, having a baby equal less sleep than you would like. Plus this baby is a toddler now; I am still trying to come to terms with this. But hey, do toddlers sleep better??
