Well, it’s been one week now since we took Billy’s crib down and switched him over to the toddler bed. When we switched Ricky over from the crib to the toddler bed, it took him quite a while to get used to his new found freedom and learn to stay in his bed and go to sleep. So we knew what to expect with Billy and had been delaying it as long as possible. Billy is still having a hard time staying in his bed – both at nap time and night time.
Tonight I was trying every way I could think of to get him to stay in his bed. I even took away their nightlights, thinking that Billy wouldn’t walk around if he couldn’t see. Well, Ricky really did not like that and asked to have them back. Cindy recommended putting up the baby gate in the doorway since it had worked fairly well in the past. So I consented, returned the nightlights, and put up the gate.
Ricky sat up in his bed and said,
“Good thinking, Poppy. Good thinking.”
P.S. (by Cindy) Shortly after Kevin posted this, I went to check on Billy. He finally fell asleep 3 hours after being put to bed. When we put him to bed, he did have pants on (I looked around and I still don’t know what he’s done with them!).
