D2X_4145Ben was climbing out of his crib and needing a “big boy” bed by 16 months.  And it was awful.  He woke up just about every night and came crying to our bedroom door.  And for months, we found him asleep on the couch in the mornings.

We had high hopes for Evan since he still wasn’t climbing out of the crib at 23 months.  But the second birthday rolled around and he was ready!  He got a new bed for his birthday, and I got it put together last week.

Night one- He was up crying for us before 4 am; I was then up with him until 5:00 am trying to keep him in bed and get him to go back to sleep.

D2X_4142Night two, three, and six- perfect!

Night five- I heard him get up and talk some in the middle of the night, but he never bothered us; found him asleep on the couch in the morning.

Night seven: Nathan saw his little feet sticking out of the tent in the living room when he got up this morning.  :)

So I think the success rate looks promising.  Even on the nights lately when he hasn’t stayed in his bed, he has been able to put himself back to sleep.  Fingers crossed this keeps up!  (Yay for week one!)

    LOL @ the feet sticking out of the tent – a camping boy. ;)
    Yep, sounds promising to me, so glad he’s adjusting well. Go Evan!

    So glad to hear it’s going well… Emma’s big girl bed is due to be delivered to the store today so we’re planning to pick it up and get the mattress this weekend… Give her a couple months to adjust before the crib gets used for her new sister :)
