day three

so...today is day three of caleb's new big boy bed. i thought it would be a lot more difficult for him to make the transition, but so far, so good. i mean, of course it hasn't been perfect, and last night it took him a long time to go down, but for the most part it's been okay.

first night...i stayed in the room with him, he cried for about ten minutes, then went to sleep. woke up at 530 crying and i went in to sleep with him.

day two nap...took his blankie and paci, daddy turned on the music, he quickly went to sleep and got out of bed and joined us in the living room when his nap was over.

day two bedtime...screamed and fussed and didn't want to stay in bed. i went in and sat with him but that was just taking way too long so i started to move in increments toward the door...he wasn't having it and wailed at the gate for a while. i can't really remember how it all ended...oh yea, dave took over while i went to bocha, then we kissed him goodnight again and he went sleep...i think...he was up early this morning doing who knows what cuz when we woke up with brynna at 6 a.m., he was already walking around the room.

day three naptime...he went in at around 11 a.m. and didn't go to sleep...he made doodoo, played with my mom's papers, opened drawers, turned the lamp on and off, etc... so after an hour of him just cruising around the room, i brought him out and fed him lunch. he ate some, then fell asleep in his chair.

day three bedtime...cried a little, came to the baby gate, put his head down on the gate for a while, went to his bed and stood next to it with his head on it, then climbed in and went to bed.

i love his independence...but it makes me a little sad to see him turn into a big boy.
