Last we updated you, we were still sleep deprived and trying every trick in the book to convince Noah that there was nothing wrong with sleeping in his room. While we are still sleep deprived, last night Noah slept from about 8:45pm to 6:30am! Hallelujah!
Last Friday while Noah was still at daycare I went ahead and took apart his crib and stashed it in the basement. I won't lie, I wanted to both leap for joy and sit down and cry my eyes out at this new development in our little boy's life.
I decided to make a few new arrangements to his room since there was a gaping hole where the crib use to be. However, I didn't want to change things too drastically for fear it would add to the sleeping problem. So I moved his toddler bed where his crib was and created a cute little reading/activity corner on the other side of the room using some of the decorations from his birthday party that he loved so much.
He was very excited about the new decor, but still wasn't sleeping well. There have been nights where one of us has slept on the floor next to him. We have taken turns going into his room for the many middle of the night wake up calls to get him back to bed and to sleep. We've tried new and old stuffed animals, new sheets, new pillow, and a flashlight.
But it turns out our persistence and time have proved to be most effective in accomplishing the feat of the big boy bed...either that or he just lulled us into a false sense of accomplishment and we will be in and out of his room all night again for two more weeks. Pray that's not the case...I'm just starting to feel human again.
Happy little man after snoozing the night away!
