Continuing the CootieBoy Sleep Deprivation saga, last night I made up the guest bedroom bed with CootieBoy’s blankets, pillows and stuffed animals. We sat in the bed and read a story, then snuggled for some quiet time, and then I left the room. He didn’t protest, He didn’t cry. He didn’t attempt to get out of bed. He didn’t fuss. He loved the big bed.
He did wake up briefly in the middle of the night, but I think his tears were more “where am I?” than “I don’t want to be in bed!” I know this because I changed his diaper, then walked him back to the guest bedroom where he climbed back in bed and with a quick kiss from me he settled back in to sleep and stayed there ’til morning.
If it’s just as easy to put him to bed tonight, then it looks like we’ll be getting him an adult-sized bed in his future.
btw, emma has been sleeping like a baby in her new twin bed. i definitely see an improvement.
