No sleep, just laid in there crying then talking then quietly staring at the trees outside then crying again. He is now sitting on my lap watching me type.
I am saving the walk for this afternoon when he will inevitably have a major melt down. This is the 3rd day in a row with no day sleeps, why do they do this? Might try wrapping him again... -------------

Do you have a front pack or sling? if he's not too heavy for that now. Might just a be a bit of separation anxiety that you need to get through. Sucks though. Hope you have a nice walk.
Ps I am insane, it's not that bad. -------------

As suggested by others he may be unwell, or starting to experience seperation anxiety, for which a sling is a great solution. I would also like to suggest that he could be going through a new developmental phase (like a milestone) that could be disrupting his sleep. If you can't figure it out by process of elimination I would dose yourself up on Rescue Remedy and go for a walk, and it should pass in a few days - otherwise if things get worse, get him checked over for peace of mind perhaps? ------------- Mama to two earth walkers & two angels.

| Stick bubs in the car and go for a long drive? At least you get out of the house and you can put some music on... |

I hadnt even thought of seperation anxiety or a development milestone! Bad mummy LOL.
He did eventually sleep for an hour and then 20 mins on our walk (which was lovely after a week couped up inside). He has started swimming on the floor and going up on his knees and trying to crawl eek! Maybe a day of snuggles is in order tomorrow  -------------
