Big Bed Day
We transitioned Izzy to a twin size bed yesterday. Well at least we started the process.
He wouldn't take a nap in the big bed, just wanted to play. At bedtime he went to sleep very easily, of course he was exhausted from not taking a nap. When he woke at 2:30am he did not want to go back to sleep alone, which isn't really that unusual. However, now he isn't confined by a crib. He started crying at the gate we put on his door. Then a bit of quiet followed by a thud. Yeah, he moved his step stool for getting into the bed to the gate and was about to climb over. I knew he would figure that trick out but I thought it would take him at least a week, not 5 min.
So, Gonzo and I took turns trying tricks to get him to sleep. At 4:45am we decided that one of us would just sleep with him till we needed to wake at 6:30.
Lets hope tonight runs smoother. Although I think Gonzo and I both agree that it wasn't that bad of a first night.
