What a night!!!

Wow, our little 2 year old Benjamin has some amazing LUNGS!!!
Luckily all the other kiddos sleep like ROCKS!
We decided that we need to get Ben to stay in his own bed at night again. He was doing very well with this in Columbia but he was in the crib and couldn't get out. He learned that he could grab his cup of water if needed then lay back down and go to bed. It only took a couple nights this summer to get to that point.....

well, then came the move

I figured that with the move came the time to be a big boy, give up the crib and that becomes Madison's. Ok......sounds great right, wrong......now he has nothing to physically keep him in bed.....so at the temporary places starting with the motels then the furnished apartment, I laid down with him in his bed until he fell asleep then I retreated to my bed (if I was still awake). Ok, not too bad, but now that my back is hurting, AGAIN (gotta get to a chiropractor but that is another story), we need to get him back to sleeping on his own. I bought a baby gate that only gets locked shut at bedtime.

Tuesday night, no problem, he slept through the night without waking up.....YEAH!! We praised him and told him what to expect the next bedtime.

Wednesday night.....oh my goodness........the boy can scream....He was MAD. He also realized that he could turn on the fan and lights in the room......grrr.......going to have David turn them off on the fan that is 9 feet in the air tonight so the switch won't work. After about 45 min he tired himself out (David fell asleep after about 25 min of the episode, man I wish I could sleep as well as the rest of the family but that changed when I had Mark, it's a mommy-thing I suppose.

Hoping that tonight is better.......if it plays out as it did this summer, tonight should be at least half the time or less hopefully.

Sorry no pictures today, I think that taking pictures in that situation would have made it worse. Though being a scrapbooker, don't think that it didn't cross my mind :)

Love you all!
Miss you.
