Big Boy Bed

Dave and I decided this week that Spencer was ready to transition to his toddler bed. This means one side of his crib has been replaced by a bed rail and he can get in and out as he pleases...yep, he's a free-range chicken now.

 
  Here's how the first 4 nights went:

• Monday: Called me back into his room a few times but didn't get out of bed.
• Tuesday: We were sure we'd made a terrible mistake. Took us over an hour to get him in the bed. Then he woke up many times throughout the night and was sitting on the floor each time I went in there. We have chalked this up to an atrocious mood from having no nap.
• Wednesday: Called me back in a few times right after bedtime, then at 1:00, then at 6:00. Was sitting on the floor each time. We went back to sleep in the guest room.
• Thursday: Slept all night - not a peep - and walked out of his room calling "Mommy!" at 7:15. One change we made was removing the larger pillow he slept with the first 3 nights, and just kept his baby pillow in the bed. Probably unrelated, but who knows.

What will tonight hold? Stay tuned!
