My little man is awesome! I just love
\n him.<\/p>\n
I told you about Friday’s nap (or
\n nap process, anyway) and how he ended up back in the crib.
\n Friday night we went out to Alan’s company’s holiday party. It
\n was at the local science museaum and everyone had fun. We
\n didn’t get home until 10:00pm though, so we put him right into
\n the toddler bed and he fell asleep in about 5 minutes. Today we
\n decided to try Love & Logic (this is what my lost post from
\n last weekend was about) on him. We asked if he wanted to take
\n his nap in the new bed or the crib (he chose new bed, of
\n course), so we put him down in the new bed. We told him that he
\n needs to stay in the bed and not get up. Then Alan and I sat
\n down outside his door. Lex stayed in bed for almost 10 minutes,
\n talking to himself and doggie, but then he got up and came over
\n to the door. This part kind of broke my heart. I opened the
\n door and he gave me a big grin and said “HI” :) I picked him up
\n and said “So sad. (his face dropped) If you can’t stay in the
\n new bed then you have to take your nap in the crib.” He wailed.
\n We put him down in the crib. He wailed for a few minutes,
\n occaisionally saying “so sad,” then fell asleep pretty quickly.
\n Tonight we did the regular bedtime routine (home at a decent
\n hour, that’s always a good start) and asked again if he wanted
\n to sleep in his new bed or the crib. He chose the new bed, of
\n course. So we put him down and reminded him that he has to stay
\n in the bed and not get up. I sat outside his door for 30
\n minutes, listening to him talk to himself, recite almost all of
\n Goodnight Moon and several nursery rhymes. At one point he even
\n said “doggie sit in chair, doggie in chair” and I was all
\n prepared to go in there, but then he said “no, no, no, stay in
\n new bed.” So smart!! I did have to go in once because he fell
\n out of the bed and hit the floor, crying, saying “hurt self,
\n hurt self.” :) I went in and hugged him and put him back in the
\n bed. He was happy. Now he’s asleep in his new bed! I love
\n him!!<\/p>\n
And as I write this the new baby
\n is rumbling in my belly. Sometimes I get very direct kicks (or
\n elbows, punches, who knows…), but othertimes the baby just
\n rolls over or something and my whole belly rumbles. It’s so
\n cool. We hit 30 weeks this week. Eeek…. March is going to be
\n here in no time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
