Big Boy Bed update

Baby Shmear did great his first night in his big boy bed. He didn't cry at all in the middle of the night, and he didn't get out of bed. When he woke up in the morning, I could hear him puttering around on his bed checking stuff out (but was too tired/lazy to go see what he was doing). Then I heard him nattering away to himself, then he says "let's read a story". We set up lots of storybooks on his new bookcase headboard so he'd have something to do when he's not tired but he still has to go to bed. I laid in bed til about 9 am listening to him read himself stories. So cute! When I finally got out of bed I saw there was a wet spot on his bed. Uh-oh! I forgot about that part! Hmmmm, he should've come to see me if he had to use the potty, but he did stay in his bed instead of escaping and messing up the house. In the end I just told him if he wakes up and has to pee he has to come tell Mommy or Daddy and we'll change his diaper or put him on the potty. Then I congratulated him on being such a big boy and staying in his bed all night. He nodded and said "I'm a big boy".

Last night wasn't so great however. According to Chris he fell out of bed (or half fell out as per his blog). I heard the crying in the middle of the night but it takes a lot longer for me to process any information these days as the noises I hear could be real or from a very vivid dream. Good thing he has two parents or he may still be wedged between the bed and the rail that's supposed to protect him! Check out Daddy's blog; it has some pictures of Matthew sleeping too. http://www.babyshmear.reach.net/daddyblog/blogger.html
