Big Boy Bedtime Continued

Every night is different.  Last night we have tried the baby gate in the doorway and after the first time he got out of bed (around 1:30 am) I went and put him back in bed and just ended up sleeping on this floor.  I only remember him starting to get out of bed one other time in the night but as soon as he figured out that I was there, he just got back in bed.  We will get there eventually, it is only the first week.
The one thing we are worried about is what to do when we are at grandparents homes this next week in Iowa!?!  I think we are just going to see if he will still sleep in a pack and play like he did at Christmas.  Like I said every night is different.

Noah moving to a toddler bed is not the only other thing that is going on in our life, believe it or not.  David's Dad is in town for a few days visiting.  He was attending a conference here in Dallas and then took a few more days to spend here with us.  We have loved having Bucko (which is what Noah calls him) around and Noah has loved every moment of our 'surprise' visitor.  We didn't tell Noah he was coming and he was very surprised when he walked through our front door.

We will be looking at houses this next weekend, with the intentions of buying one of them by the end of the week!  How exciting, I have been waiting for the day for us to buy our first house.  I will be sure to post pics after we return.  Next week is going to be a whirlwind of activity, very exciting.

Just to let you know, maybe for some comfort that Lilly, as you know, is our bedtime get of bed goer, but when family is here or they are watching her, she never gets out. I think maybe she just know deep down that she's not suppose to and knows how we'll handle it but doesn't want to "test" grandparents. Just a FYI, can't wait to see you!

Nate has been in a twin size bed since I moved into a furnished apartment on my campus where I go to school, I bought a railing for him, the first few weeks were rough, but now he does pretty good, I put a baby gate up as well, he stays in his room, sometimes he will be asleep on the floor by the gate with his pillow and blanket, one time I woke before he did, but he had a bed full of toys, so I know he was up and played a bit, and fell back asleep... good luck!! and when he stays at grandparents houses he does not do well at all! its still a struggle... good luck on the house shopping, I am excited for you! I can't wait to see pictures, if you guys are ever in the KC area give me a call! 816-360-9040...

Jackson slept in a pac-n-play when we traveled for a long time even after he was in a big boy bed, but now he's out grown of them ... literally.
