Peter and Sleep

-
Last night we had to put Peter back in the crib (I was so looking for to taking it down!). As I mentioned in a previous post, Peter has gotten tall enough to hike his leg over the gate and hoist himself up and over. And kids with autism are horrible sleepers and nappers. Take the average child's reluctance to sleep or nap, cube it and you're close to what it's like.

Next step will be a sit down discussion with my husband to brainstorm our options. We'll end up deciding on a solution after we look at catalogs, visit the baby section of a store for safety ideas and take into consideration Peter's personality.

In the meantime, we're adapting to the situation as much as possible.

The sagittal should run from the middle of that suture to the back of the skull but it's not present. If it were, it would have the same zig-zagged appearance as the coronal suture. This is a side/rear view of Peter's skull. As you can see, about where the ear is there should be a suture but, again, there isn't one.
