Day/Night 4 (June 22):
Jack did end up sleeping the remainder of the night in our bed, but had no qualms about taking a nap in his bed today! Matt was off work today and said he had to cuddle him a little bit, but that he was willing to go to bed. Jack is so funny during the day about climbing in and out of his bed. He still has a pacifier and we really try to limit it naps and night time, but they sit on his bed when he's awake. He will go into his room and climb into bed suck on his pacifier for a few seconds, spit it out and climb out of bed... usually running into the hallway laughing or saying "good job" to himself! It really is quite hilarious!
Jack went to bed just fine with Matt snuggling him/falling asleep with him. We've been putting the gate up in the hallway so he can make it to our room but not wander the house. Well, last night we got our first night time visitor! Matt woke up to Jack standing next to our bed (around 2 am again)... he took him back to bed and ended up falling asleep there. I remember waking up and realizing that Matt wasn't in bed, but didn't say anything until the next morning.
Day/Night 5 (June 23rd):
My mom said he napped just fine, about 3 hours!
We went over to some friends' house for pizza and to visit some friends who were in town from Florida. Well, that resulted in Jack and I not getting home until nearly 10 p.m. (there goes our goal of 8:30 pm bedtime, oh well), but he was so cooperative for bedtime! He came in the house and went straight for his pacifiers, but came out so I could change his diaper and put on PJs. I went to snuggle him up in bed and I quickly realized that he was not going to notice me being there or not, so I slowly backed out of the room and he didn't even notice. (Can I admit I'm a little disappointed since he always wants his Daddy to snuggle him at night before bed? Ah, to be the mother of a Daddy's boy!) Jack ended up falling out of bed once, and waking up crying twice after that. I was already in bed but Matt was still up so he comforted him and got him back to sleep in his bed.
Day/Night 6 (June 24th):
Great nap after he wore himself out playing around lunchtime at the McDonald's play place!
Evening went about the same as it has been... Jack work up two or three times, but Matt got up and ended up sleeping in bed with him for a couple of hours. We've noticed that he has woke up around 2 a.m. every night... we really need to get him a music box or white noise maker that he can turn on when he wakes up. He
Day/Night 7 (June 25th):
Jack fought going down for a nap for me a little bit... finally he let me scoop him up and carry him into bed. He "made" me lay down with him and he was asleep within 10-15 minutes. He woke up twice during his nap, once I had to comfort him but the second time he fell back asleep on his own (clearly not ready for the nap to end). Once he woke up he was his usual "happy Jack" self!
Jack went down pretty quickly this evening, but we again wore him out at a summer cook-out before bed! Imagine that... 2 am and he's awake by our bedside again! Luckily he's still sleepy so he goes back to his big boy bed with Daddy following for some snuggles!
Day/Night 8 (June 26th):
So this was a bad day for the big boy bed... we had a baptism (and party) to go to that landed smack in the middle of nap time. It would've been nice if Jack would've decided to sleep in, but alas, he did not! Needless to say, his nap fell around 4:30 p.m. in the car and finished up around 5:30 after being home (and in his bed) for about 30-45 minutes. We pretty much expected what came next...
Jack wound up in our bed sleeping the rest of the night. The worst part? Neither of us honestly remember when he came in, but only the fact that we woke up with him in between us... taking up the majority of the bed by laying perpendicular between us! Ahh, parenthood!
