Big Bed Update
The transition to a big bed is resulting in the whole family loosing sleep. Monday night it took 2 hours to get Izzy to sleep but he slept through the night. Last night it took ~1.5 hours to get Izzy to sleep.
Then he woke at 11:00 and wouldn't go back to sleep....
11:00 to 12:00 Mom rocks and gets Izzy asleep in his bed
12:05 Izzy wakes and realizes mom isn't in the room anymore
12:10 to 1:05 Gonzo sits next to Izzy's bed and gets him to sleep
1:10 Izzy wakes and realizes dad isn't in the room anymore
1:15 mom tries to get Izzy calmed down but he only wants dad
1:20 Gonzo tries to get Izzy to sleep by sleeping in the bed with Izzy
2:00 Izzy falls asleep
3:15 Gonzo makes his way out of Izzy's bed and into our bed
6:15 We wake Izzy for school
Approximate time awake 11:00 to 2:00 (+1 hour till Gonzo was in his own bed)
I think both Gonzo and I are ok with the lengthy process to get Izzy to sleep but we are really frustrated with the middle of the night disruptions that are unpredictable in occurrence and length. We had gotten used to sleeping through the night.
