I tried to do nap time in the bed yesterday and it wasn't as successful as I would've hoped. I rocked him to sleep and laid him in the bed -he snuggled right in and did fine until he woke up 30 minutes later. There isn't much worse than a lame nap in a busy day. I tried to get him back to sleep but I think he was confused as to why he was in the bed in the first place.
He did end up taking another late afternoon nap but this time I didn't risk it and I put him in his crib.
So for now, he has a crib and a bed in his room. Sometimes he'll climb on the bed with his blankie and lay down for 45 seconds, but that's about all I get. I'm not sure he realizes how cool his big boy bed is quite yet!
I'm confident that he'll get the hang of it one of these days. And I remind myself that there was a point in time where I wasn't sure if he would ever sleep through the night. I would tell myself that there will be an end this....at some point...I mean, five year old sleep all night long. Same goes with this. Five year old don't sleep in cribs so there will be a transition day. I just hope it's before baby sister comes and it doesn't involve too many sleepless nights.
