Check out Carter's new bed! We set it up over the weekend and decided to try him in it for the first time last night! He did great! After his normal routine of bath, massage, brushing teeth and reading stories we put him in the bed and he went right to sleep! He didn't even try to get off the bed! We went in to check on him and the picture above is how we found him! He's so cute! We do have a rail but I decided not to put it up because I wanted to see if he would actually stay on the bed. We put pillows on the floor just in case. Well, at 6am this morning he rolled off. He only fussed for a couple of seconds. We went in there a few minutes later only to find him asleep on the floor between the rocking chair and the ottoman! I imagine he just rolled off the bed and kept scooting around until he got comfortable enough to go back to sleep. We picked him up and put him back in the bed. He went right back to sleep! He still tosses and turns all through the night so I think tonight we will try the rail. I tried the bed with the rail on at nap time and that didn't work! All he wanted to do was get up and play so I put him back in the crib! I am sure this is going to be a "try, try again effort!"Monday, October 8, 2007

Precious. My advice: put him in the crib cold turkey and refer to SuperNanny. When you hear him out of it, go up, put him in (don't say a word except for the first time you do, which is a simple "in bed for naptime" - after that, it's just pick up and put in), and walk out. He may scream for a bit but with Issa it took 4 or so "put back in the bed" sessions and she hasn't turned back. We still have to use the rail - she moves all over the bed at night! He is precious in that great big bed... :)
