I understand what everyone is saying, as I said, some of it is the desire for one of us adults to play with him.
His mother recently was switched to days, and when she was a closing manager, she spent the day with damian playing and just spending time with him.
My sis was also involved in his daily activities.
Lately, most days, I am helping neighbors deal with feral hogs, then come home, sleep a bit and go back out at night to try and eliminate some of them, so I am have not been around much to play his favorite game, "Gonna get the Damian." Which involves chasing him, catching him and tickling him, or what ever. If it is nice, he and I spent a lot of time outside.
My sis is doing holiday baking and making holiday fudge, candies and other things, she can get him to "help" for a while, then he wants to do something else.
As for bed time, we recently got him his own bed, and he has finally begun sleeping in his room alone. Before he was either with my sister or his mom. We are trying to get him to go to sleep by himself, or with one of the dogs that routinely slept next to his crib. It was shortly after this began that he began getting whatever he could to get as many people in his room as possible.
Once he is out, there is no problems, he sleeps through the night, or if the dogs wake him in the morning, depending on who got up with the dogs, is what determines what he does at that time. If I am the only one up, he gives me a smile, says "Morning PopPop" holds his arms up for a hug, and goes back to bed.
If he sees his mom getting ready to leave for work, or his grandma, he is awake and a 22 month old human version of the energizer bunny. Unless we somehow manage to get the dogs to accept the idea it is still dark and they should be asleep and not using the house as their version of the Indy 500 track.
If I go back to my room and go back to bed first, within five minutes he has climbed up on my bed, climbed over me, over Blu and under the covers next to the wall, with his arms around blu, who is also under the covers and sharing Damian's pillow.
