Big boy room!
We moved you to your big boy room last week!! You are doing SO well! Way better then we could have imagined! We ( mostly mom) were so nervous! We have always rocked you to sleep with milk but lately with you getting so big and my bump getting bigger it has been getting progressively hard. You had been sleeping awful which now we know is because you were just not comfortable in your crib. It was taking up to an hour to get you to sleep at night and you were waking in the middle of the night a few times a week and it would take 2-3 hours to rock you back to sleep ( noooo way!) mommy and daddy were getting very tired! We figured it was going to happen soon anyway since your little brother or sister is going to need your crib soon. Originally we had planned to wait until you tried climbing out of your crib but you never have! Anyway we went shopping for your bed and found the perfect one on sale at pottery barn kids and (duh) planned your room theme around trains! We had NO idea how it was going to go switching from crib to bed and from rocking no not rocking all at the same time, AND cold turkey! We decided a slow process would not be good with how old you are. You are VERY smart and we just knew you would use your cuteness to manipulate us into giving in! Night 1 was obviously very very rough. Mommy lost it halfway through but thankfully the whole "sleep training" process only took about 45 minutes and you were sound asleep! Your new routine is 2 books and 3 songs! Mommy puts you down for nap and daddy puts you to sleep at nighttime. We sing you Thomas the train, Winnie the Pooh, and the eyes of Texas. All your favorite songs that happen to be short so it works perfect! We thought night 2 would be way harder but it went PERFECT. You ran straight to your room to pick your books when we said bedtime and rolled over and went right to sleep. Since then we have not had any tears and actually have to wake you up from your naps. You are sleeping late in the mornings and don't wake up at night! All 3 of us have never had so much sleep =) you are such a big boy and we are so proud of you! Here are some pictures of your new big boy room which you are in love with!!
