Big has been really great at sleeping in his toddler bed. He thinks the small safety rail is a force field that won't allow him out of the bed, which is parenting GREATNESS.
The is great, except for the part that baby mattresses are expensive bedrock, made to freak parents out over things like---is it hard enough, soft enough, rectangle enough, yadda yadda. Well, since Big is waking so often during the night now, I'm thinking it might be due to sleeping on a cement block. We've decided to move in the full sized mattresses to see if comfort lulls him into a more peaceful sleep. Please, sweet baby Jesus, let it work.
We tried it at nap today and he first thought we had gifted him a super cool bouncy house:-/. Um, not so much. After many stern "we do not jump in the big boy bed" warnings, he finally fell asleep and slept well. Should be an interesting night... Who wants to wager a bet on how many times he tests his boundaries? Heck, I've already put 20 bucks on us needing to repair a toddler-head sized hole in the sheet rock by mid week.
Yo, Mr.Sandman, visit my freakin' kid! Thanks.
