Big Boy Bed

// July 25th, 2010 // Children and Babies, Life in General

The Bear has been getting closer and closer to climbing out of his crib, and he finally did it.  Repeatedly.  Last night, bed time was awful, with Bear attempting to climb out every time Mommy or Daddy left the room.  Finally, Daddy just sat in the room with him, saying, “No.  Time for night-night,” every time the Bear tried to get up.

This morning, we took the side off the crib, and it was pretty funny.  Bear was SO excited.He would grin and climb in and out of bed, and he was just having so much fun with his big boy bed.

Now it is time for the first nap in the big boy bed (well, an hour past time, actually), and the fun is OVER.  Bear didn’t want me to rock him to sleep for his nap, because he wanted to “Go night-night new bed.”  I thought, “My goodness!  This will be easier than I thought!”

An hour later, I give up, and Daddy is in there.  Bear is crying and hollering, and I’m sure Daddy is repeating his “No.  Time for night-night” refrain . . . over and over and over.

Thank goodness for Daddy taking over.  My nerves are shot, and I really needed to get some work done during the Bear’s nap, which apparently isn’t going to happen.

Please, please, tell me we’ll be over this soon and Bear will be napping and sleeping in his big boy bed like a champ.
