Last night was a big day for the kids - it was the first night they slept in "big kid beds" !! A few weeks ago, Jamie took the kids to the bay area, and Connor experienced napping and "night-night" on a "big boy bed" at Unlce Bob's house. Ever since they got back, that's all Connor can talk about. He's protested various nap times, demanding to sleep on mommy and daddy's bed.
So, finally, this week, they went to the matress store and got some big kid beds. We were not sure what would happen the first night - not being trapped in a crib any longer. Will they just walk out of the room? Will they fall out of the bed?
As it turns out - they did REALLY WELL !! Connor was in there talking and doing who know's what for a while (almost a couple hours), but finally went to sleep. When we peeked in on him before going to bed, he was laying on his tummy, laying diagonally towards the side wall, with his feet towards the pillows!
They both made it all the way through the night, and didn't come out of the room! Now we're wondering when they'll figure out that it is an option. Hopfeully, they understand that they shouldn't -- but we'll see. Connor had a short crying episode at 430am, but daddy went in there and laid with him for a bit and he went back to sleep.
