CRASH:THUMP:BANG:BOOM

We tried...no one warned me it would be this difficult. He fell asleep so nicely in a big boy bed at 8:00 p.m. after reading bedtime stories...but struggled throughout the night. The things we heard last night were priceless. Brad and I made numerous attempts to keep him in the bed, but he didn't stay there. Here it goes:

1. 10:05 p.m. CRASH...Sam had managed to unlock the siderail and slip between the siderail and the bed and got stuck. When Brad got there he was angry. Tears and tears of sadness and a little sore. However a little suck on his "Nene" (pacifier) Tucked him back in and the room was full of snores...

2. 11:30 p.m. THUMP! I ran in there to find Sam not only out of his bed....but clear across the room laying on the ground by the window???? How does this happen. And, the best part was...he was still sleeping???? So I gracefully attempted to tuck him back in bed.

3. 12:00 a.m. BANG!!!!!!! This time, Sam was STILL in his big boy bed, but standing up, blanket in hand, thrashing his head against the wall, STILL SLEEPING, but this time, Screaming. So, after some calm cuddle time, we both went back to sleep, and Sam was tucked back in his bead, sound asleep....

4. 3:00 a.m. BOOM!!! Not only was Sam out of his bed AGAIN, but he was out of his bed, laying in front of the door, so I could not get in.....thank heavens Gaga and Papa have 2 entrances into his bedroom....

5. 4:58 I'M UP!!!! Yes, that was the wake up time this morning. He had a very rough night. I think we may hold off on doing the bed thing again until we move....it was a disaster. Or better yet....how about 2 cribs?

I'll complete this post with a precious Samuel Lewis phrase:
"All Done"
