Big Boy Bed Update
So the crib came down on Saturday. We all did it together and James said bye-bye to his crib. The first night was a nightmare! Horrible, I thought how are we going to get through this, he is NOT ready. Saturday night he was hysterical for about almost an hour, he wasn't calming down, I was getting frustrated so I finally gave in and rocked him to sleep, he fell asleep in about 2 minutes and then I put him in his bed. He woke up at 5:45 and I went in and tried to get him to lay down and go back to sleep for an hour and 15 min! Finally the sun was coming in the window, so I figured we might as well just go downstairs now! Second night was better, I tried using the Super Nanny technique and we went through our routine of two books while rocking on the chair and then he went into bed and I read two more books and then he laid down, I sat on the floor next to his bed for 50 minutes until he fell asleep! At least there was no crying!Yea! He woke up again at 5 and it only took 15 minutes for him to go back to sleep. Third night same thing only it took 45 minutes! Woke up at 5 again, have no idea why he is doing this but went back to sleep quickly again. And tonight a record of 25 minutes! It is getting better and better!!!!! Keep your fingers crossed!

Yah!! I'm so glad that it is improving! I'm just guessing you are exhausted though waking up at 5 am every day...maybe James is just doing this to prepare you for the new baby!! =) At least he should be the expert sleeper by the time he arrives! Hope it keeps getting better!
Oh good!!!! It's getting better and better each day!! He's doing great!
Yeah! Sounds GREAT! Your doing an AWESOME job! Hopefully after about a week of this you will be "home free"! I bet you are so tired?! :(
