I agree with Linny too. My foster kids were all infants when we got them but I have friends who adopted two boys and got them at about that age. The younger one especially took several months to really seem to relax. He also got up at night for a while.

I read somewhere that getting a child outside first thing in the morning can sometimes help stabilize their internal clock. I don't know if that's true but we usually take our kids for a walk after breakfast and it seems like they're crankier if we miss it.

I think my 2 year old daughter occasionally gets nightmares. I guess I never thought that would happen so young.

It's so hard to tell with teething sometimes. But like you say if he's got no symptoms during the day . . . then maybe not.

Good luck and congrats on the addition to your family!
