The Toddler Bed

What did we get ourselves into?  Seriously!  No, it's all good...just have a learning curve is all.  Saturday, Zach and I went on a special trip to buy "big boy" bed sheets.  We went to Anna's Linens.  They had a HUGE selection!!!  No, not really.  They had two choices.  Disney Princesses or Cars.  I picked up the 5 piece set of Cars and asked him if he wanted that one.  It was easier that way.  We also got an extra set of sheets and two boxes to help him keep his room a bit more organized.  Oh, and a Wall-E chair to sit in in the living room.

Fast-forward to Saturday's nap.  He kept getting up.  So, I put the side of his crib back on, but didn't lift it up.  He was fine.  When I went to get him from his nap, I asked him if at bedtime we could put the other rail on so he would feel better in bed.  He said yes.  It worked!!!!  And then Sunday morning came, and he was up at 5:30.  All in all, not too terrible.  Sunday's nap was fine.  Bedtime was a bit harder because Dan had to put him back in bed and tell him that he had to stay there until morning.  Monday morning rolls around and Zach is up at 5:30 AGAIN!!!!  This has got to get figured out.  I'm tired enough without having to get up that early.  But, he's not scared, and he likes his new "big boy" bed.

Yeah, there are days when I wish I could do what you do, but I'd never get any sleep. Both boys are just flop-monsters.
