a big experiment


Owen became disgruntled with his crib a couple of weeks ago, and learned that he was able to get out of it. Unfortunately he is not that careful in climbing and fell out of the crib hard enough to scare me. So this Monday we removed it, and put his mattress on the floor. We had a lot of discussions with him about moving to a "big boy bed" and how the crib was going away.


Monday night, it seemed like this was going to work- he was very excited about his new bed- we put all his stuffed animals around him, and put up some sea animal pictures on the walls. But we'd put him in his bed, and he'd come running back out again. Over and over. Eventually Richard slept next to him in his room, on the floor until Owen was completely asleep- around midnight.


Tuesday night, Owen was asleep by 9:30, but he did end up in our bedroom around 3 AM.


Tonight, he got to sleep by 8:30. Still no sign of the little guy. Hopefully he makes it through the night in his bed. Otherwise we'll need to get a king bed for our room- Owen is little, but likes to sleep perpendicular to us and takes up a lot of room.
