Hi all,

I have an issue that has just begun and I'm so tired from not sleeping.

Spencer will NOT settle down anymore to sleep. If I keep him in my bed, he jumps down and starts going for my clothes... If I put him in his pen in the kitchen (where a bed is) he starts barking. I tell him "no" and he gets louder. He doesn't settle down for a good 2 or so hours and I'm at my wits end. I'm not sure what to do. He is 11 1/2 months old.

He plays at night when I get home as I let him out of his pen the minute I get home... but when it's bed time, he starts this new behaviour... it's really quite annoying.

Any ideas? I live in a condo complex and don't want the neighbors to be disturbed.

Thanks for any ideas.

Sincerely,
Caroline (Spencer's mom)
