Toddler Bed update

We decided last week to upgrade Raeford to a toddler bed. 

Rae likes to feel all grown-up. He likes glasses, not plastic cups. He wants to unlock the car and lock the house. He wants to help feed Joe. 

So we converted his crib to a toddler bed and then told him how grown-up it was to have a big boy bed. He ate it up. In fact, that night, when we told him to go to bed, he picked up his book and climbed in bed and fell asleep himself. 


He fell out of bed twice that night, but we put him back in and he fell right asleep again. He's only fallen out once since then. 

But, with the upgrade, Rae's decided that he's big enough to pick his bedtime. Au contraire, big boy, we still get to call the shots on bedtime. So, Mr. Graff is re-sleep training Rae. He puts a large couch cushion beside the bed and lays on it until Rae falls asleep. And on the weekends, he does that during nap time, too. 

But what about naps during the week, you ask? 

Good question.
