Thanks to Elliot’s new milestone, for safety Logan has converted Elliot’s bed from a crib to a toddler bed.
So now at night we play the “Put Elliot to bed and wait by the door to put him in bed again game.”
He really likes being able to climb in and out of his bed easily. When he stayed at Gam Gam’s this weekend, he reportedly woke up and was very mad that he was in a pack and play again… like stomping his foot mad. So Logan put him in bed with him for the rest of the night. You can probably guess where I was… on call.
He does actually sleep pretty well in the converted bed once he gets to sleep. He did get up at 3AM a couple of nights ago though and come into our room. He stood by my side of the bed shouting “Me! Me! Me!” then he went to Da’s side and said “Da! Da! Da!” Da let him in bed with us, where he kicked us for awhile and then settled down long enough for Logan to get him back in his bed.
I’ve laid down with him in his toddler bed a couple of times now to help encourage him to go to sleep. Aside from the kicking and swatting, he is a very cuddly bundle of boy!
