\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Today is a big day for Lex. We got him a toddler
\n bed this week (borrowed it from a friend, really) and today was
\n our first attempt at sleeping in it. Didn’t go so well :) Alan
\n brought the bed home on Wednesday, Lex and I set it up
\n Thursday, and we brought it upstairs to his room this morning.
\n He loved it. He “helped” me set it up last night and played on
\n it for a long time this morning. At one point, I was my room,
\n and I heard Lex putting doggie to bed. “Night doggie.
\n Cumidifier on. Fan on. Blanket for doggie.” Very cute.<\/p>\n

We got off to a bad start on the nap though.
\n He usually goes down around 1:00pm, but today we went out to
\n lunch and didn’t get home until 2:30! And, of course, he fell
\n asleep in the car on the way home. So when I tried to put him
\n down it was way past naptime and he’d already slept for about
\n 10 minutes. As most of you know, once a kid snoozes for a bit
\n they are pretty sure they’ve had their nap for the day. So we
\n spent an hour with me sitting outside his door and going in
\n every 2 minutes to put him back in the bed. He was happy
\n sometimes, angry othertimes, but always got back in the bed
\n when I came in. After an hour (now 3:30!) he stopped getting in
\n the bed and started pushing back. I said, “So sad. I guess
\n you’ll take a nap in the crib instead.” And put him in the
\n crib. He screamed like mad for 20 minutes, intermingling “so
\n sad” and “want new bed” in with the cries. Then he fell
\n asleep.<\/p>\n

Now I have to be a mean mommy
\n and wake him up in a few minutes since it’s nearly 5:00 and a
\n little late for napping. Luckily we have Alan’s company’s
\n holiday party tonight, so he’ll be up nice and late
\n anyway.<\/p>\n

We’ll try the new bed again
\n tomorrow and see how it goes. I think he’ll get the hang of it
\n sooner or later :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
