A Rough Night - but YAY!

This entry should have happened on 1/23/2009

We're still working out the kinks for the Big Boy Bed. I won't bore you with the exact details until I know we have it totally worked out on our own here, but so far it isn't working more than it is. Which stinks. We had a few successes sprinkled in with a LOT of un successes. Thursday night, Grandpa and Grandma rolled in just in time for reading books and putting William down. He went down RIGHT away - a huge surprise.

Another huge surprise? He woke up every 10 minutes to 45 minutes crying. Not just whining, but sobbing for his Mama. After hauling my huge belly out of bed for the 500th time in an hour, I finally gave up and slept with him. It was NOT a good night's rest because he really was up every 10 minutes to 40 minutes for the whole night. Plus, he is a wild man sleeper. Luckily for us, Grandma sent Mama back to bed for awhile in the morning. It would have been a rough day for us without Grandma and Grandpa here today!

Poor you! What a rough transition!!! Tristan keeps getting up at naptime... so much that he is so tired at bedtime he doesn't care where he is sleeping. Have you started talking about the baby coming and the transition? Maybe it would help him to put it up with baby bedding in it. That is what we did with Keiran. I used the term "big boy" a million times a day to get him to understand. It took a while and when T came there was some crawling in to join the baby.
