We decided that we would try to move Andy to his big boy bed before the baby arrived. I already am not sleeping at night due to pregnancy insomnia - so why not stay up with Andy?!?Last night was night #2 in Andy's big boy bed. We have been catching up on the season finales on TV...LOST, Grey's Anatomy, etc. I honestly don't know which is more entertaining - watching TV or watching the video monitor. Night #1 - Andy played for about an hour and we had to go upstairs 3 times to let him know that he needed to sleep in his bed. Night #2 - after reading some books to himself and gathering all of the toys/animals/books onto his bed - he fell asleep on his own. Both nights - slept through the night! Hooray! Instead of getting up at 9:00 - he is getting up at 7:30 or 8 - which I can't complain about at all given that it's still "sleeping in" compared to most kids. Hopefully this pattern will keep up. He still is taking naps in his crib, because selfishly I need him to take a good nap (these days it's my nap time too!)...and when the baby comes, I need him to be contained and take good naps. So - we'll convert to his big boy bed completely over time.
