Bed Time Updates

I posted earlier that we were going to try to put Lydia in a big girl bed. She did well for a few nights, but on night #4 I found her roaming around the house int he middle of the night, that made me a little nervous, so she is back in the crib for now. And with four other kids here for naptime I really needed to be able to put her in her bed and know that she was going to stay there. She's perfectly content to be in her crib so I'm fine with it for now.

I also mentioned that Clae is going through a "scared" phase. Which meant we would stay in his room with him until he fell asleep and then he would wake up multiple times in the night and we would sit in his room until he went back to sleep, or he would end up in our bed. Obviously, this was not working, so we decided we had to make some changes.

We told him that if he slept in his bed, by himself, for 5 nights he could pick out a toy. He said he wanted a car like Evan's with a ladder on the back. It took us a while to figure out what he was talking about, but we finally figured out he meant this Wingo from the movie Cars.


Night #1 went ok. He would randomly burst out crying, I would go check on him and ask him what was wrong. His response was "I'm just cryin'. " It was a little rough but he ended up falling asleep on his own, without us in there. Tonight will be night #4 and things seem to be going better, the Wingo is on order from amazon (you can't buy it in stores anymore because now all of the Cars 2 stuff is out). So, it's going pretty well and we hope he keeps it up!
