He thought it was pretty fun at first.
He even willingly laid down and got under his covers.
He was happy about the situation until we turned out the lights and left. The first night was pretty rough getting him to stay in the bed. He finally fell asleep in front of his door and we transferred him to the bed later. Luckily he adjusted quickly. One of the hardest parts now is getting him to stay in bed if he wakes up at night or too early in the morning. Another hard part is this...
They realized that this is a "fun" setup. Tab actually fell out of bed a few nights ago because he was leaning over his rail trying to see Benton as they were goofing off and laughing. Poor boy didn't get much sympathy. I know I'm a mean mom, but consequences are consequences.Nap time is also a little frustrating. I'm not sure what it is about changing to the big bed, but he has cut his nap time almost in half and it isn't nearly enough for him or me. So by bedtime he is exhausted and cranky. Sigh...

We keep talking about moving Isaac to a big boy bed and have even done some looking online, but this post has made me reconsider. I need nap time to continue!
We just switched Cameron a few days ago too. Let's just say we are all exhausted, but after a few days he only gets up about 5 times at night instead of every 10 minutes. I think we are making progress ;-)
Man I hate spanking those butts when they play after bed-time.
On the other hand, I am proud of Tab each morning for looking at his clock and making sure it is past 7 AM before he gets up. It makes everyone's day start off well... doesn't it dear?!?
