Ethan learned a few days ago how to climb out of his crib, so we took the crib down and put him in his big boy bed!!! Last night was his first night and let me tell you how it went. After his bath he was acting really tired and wanting to snuggle, so unlike him, so I thought that I would put him down. It was around 7:30pm and he went into this bed without a problem, stayed there, and was asleep in minutes!! I was so excited and happy that it was not a struggle. Then at about 10pm I went into check on him before bed and right away I recognized the smell of vomit, yup he threw up all over himself and his bed, ahhhhhh now what do I do??? He is sleeping so soundly in his puke and I could not let that continue all night. So I woke him up, changed his sheets and then layed with him until he fell asleep, which took an hour, then I snuck out. He woke right back up and we just kept bringing him back to bed without saying anything or making eye contact and after the second time of getting out of bed, he stayed there all night and even slept in!!!! Whoo hoo!! Nap time today went well too, even though he is sleeping at the wrong end of the bed:) We are very proud of our big boy!!!

Yay Ethan! I tend to watch SuperNanny and she also says to just keep bringing them back to their bed until they give up the fight and go to sleep! He is getting so big! I miss you guys! Hopefully I'll see ya'll soon. Thanksgiving???
Laurie, just so you can keep it in the back of your head for times of desperation - if we threaten "the baby bed" Brayden does really well at staying where he is supposed to. Maybe not the best method, but it works in moments of desperation
Ahhh the Supernanny technique. Nicely done!
What a big boy!! Don't take the crib down too soon though, right?
