Results of the First Nap and First Night Sans Crib

Yesterday Owen gradutated to not sleeping in the crib, due to his gymnastics. We debated going and buying a toddler bed or a twin mattress for the floor, but for now, have his crib mattress (softer side up), on the floor with all of his normal bedtime accessories on it.

He tried napping yesterday in his room for an hour or so. Travis went in a few times to tell him to lay down, but the temptation to play was just too great. Here are the photos post first nap attempt:





Last night went a little better. He was pretty tired, having only slept about 30 minutes in the car while out running errands. We had extended reading of nursery rhymes and 'Busy People' and then he went to lay in his bed without a fuss. I went to check on him later and this is what I found:





Well, at least he was sleeping, instead of playing tornado. He made it until 6 am, which is better than yesterday!

In case it's not obvious, the photos in the dark show a very empty little bed and a tiny boy sleeping in an overstuffed armchair with his blankie and a book.

It's so good to "hear from" y'all again! Sounds like things have been a bit EXCITING at your house! (BTW, where did you find those Ultra Absorbancy Cruisers? I haven't seen those!)

BJs has the ultra-absorbency Cruisers. They really do hold more than the standard diapers
