Toddler Bed Trials & Tribulations

I know you are probably wondering why the dramatic title of this post, but trust me, this toddler bed change has been one of the more difficult experiences to date. I have read many blogs and baby forums that explain just how common a toddler Julian's age gets out of bed when converted from a crib to a toddler bed, but 60 + times, really?!?!?! Yes, you read that right, 60 + times he got out of bed on night #2 and it was exhausting. I will say that although Daddy has been the most patient, he is also the biggest softie. Not only did he recommend the whole put him back in bed without speaking to him, but he is also the one that lets the little guy crawl back in bed with us at 5:30 this morning because of the cutest sight of Julian tapping his arm with pillow and blankie in tow. That's right, he silently came in while we slept and tapped daddy lightly to let him sleep in the middle. This kid knows how to work his daddy in the cutest ways. Well, honestly had I seen that myself, I seriously don't know if I could have turned him down either. Needless to say, tonight (night #3) was only 15 times of going back and forth, which is not bad at all, but we shall see if he comes back yet again for some cuddling. God I love my baby sooooo much!!!!

This is him crawling out of bed on Night #2

After Night #1 

"This is much easier to get out of"

Let the race begin...

Oh my gosh - how adorable is that - bringing his pillow and blanket with him! We are still having issues with the big boy bed. Stephen ends up laying down with him and falls asleep himself! Now, he's used to sleeping with Daddy, and will wake up at 4am and scream for him if Stephen went back to our bed. Ugh!
