Our new home/explanation for our exhaustion:

A day before this last break, we moved into a new apartment. We loved our place at SeaLofts, but decided that it was more important to be all on one level. We found a great apartment in a community just two down (and even closer to the pizza place, which is always a good thing!). The only problem is that since we moved in, Beau has been sleeping in a Big Boy Bed. This would never have happened under the age of 2 if we had a normal crib for him. But given that our choices were between a queen size bed and continuing for another year in a pack n' play, which, according to some (Cody Doyle) was borderline child abuse, we went with the queen. The unfortunate result is that Andrew and I have switched off being on-call every single night since we moved here. At any moment in the night, our child can call out to us to lie down in his bed (he says "down, Mommy"). And no, he won't go back to sleep without us laying down. And yes, he will climb right out of his bed if we refuse to go to his room.

RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE???!!!
