Big Boy Bed







We had a productive afternoon converting Mac's crib to a toddler daybed. He is really excited about it. He would hardly even let us put the mattress back on before he was trying to climb up. As you can see he was immediately ready to go "night-night" or at least pretend. We shall see if it actually lasts and he wants to sleep in there by tonight.

We are expecting a rough night, but it won't be any different than the past week. He is having nightmares or something that wakes him up every night screaming. He doesn't want to go back to bed unless someone stays with him, that has made for many nights on the floor or the chair in his room. I have a hope (but not expectation) that this might help snap him out of whatever is going on. At least this might be a good time for change since things haven't been going well anyway or maybe a terrible time (we shall see tonight).






One of our biggest concerns is that he won't stay in bed, but he isn't staying there anyway lately so that is nothing new. For a while now he has been jumping out of his bed and no punishment or reward seems to be enough to keep him there.
