Saturday Night - I put him in bed, said our normal good nights, and closed the door. I had the monitor on so I could hear him and stood outside the door. After a few minutes I thought I heard him in his closet. I gave it another minute and then went in. He was sitting on the floor in his closet playing with some clothes. I told him it was time for bed and pointed him back that direction. He wasn't too happy.
When I left I stood outside the door again to listen. After a few minutes it was still silent so I went back in. He was standing in the middle of the bedroom and looked like a deer in headlights. Again, put him back in bed and explained he had to stay there. Stood outside the door a couple more minutes. Went back in and this time he heard the door. Before I could get it completely open he was making a run for the bed to try and lay down before I saw him. It was really funny! Tucked him back in. This time he actually stayed in bed and slept all night.
Saturday morning we heard him get up and go out into the loft. He never came into our room so I got up to see what he was doing. He apparently decided he was going somewhere because he was sitting on the floor trying to put his shoes on until he saw me.
Sunday - He took his first nap in the bed. Not much of a fight. He really didn't want to go to bed so was crying (as usual). Only got out of bed once. He actually opened his bedroom door like he was coming out and was a little surprised to see me there. After putting him back in bed he fell asleep. The funny part was when he woke up from his nap he was knocking on his bedroom door to ask if he could come out.
Sunday night he only got out of bed one time as well. The fun came during the night. He actually fell out of bed 3 times! The first time he was on the floor on all fours crying. The second time he was standing up. David went in the third time and he had just laid there like he was going back to sleep. Each time you could tell he was so exhausted he was practically sleeping while crying for us. Hopefully he figures it out soon.
Monday - Today we bought him a Toy Story bedding set, which he was excited about. Similar day though with sleeping. He didn't want to take a nap, but actually stayed in bed and went to sleep. Came out on his own when he woke up. Tonight he got up once...again was sitting in his closet playing. I put him back to bed...though he really didn't want to go.
After a little while I heard him start crying. I went in to find him sitting on his bed. He immediately stopped crying when I came in. I laid him back down and started to leave the room. He says "Mom...reindeer night night". So I went back to say good night to Reindeer, Duncan & Teddy Bear...then Cameron. Our normal ritual. He started blowing kisses so I did the same. Then he waved to me and said "Bye Mom". Too cute! I heard him talking for a while, but he eventually went to bed.
So far a success! Let's hope it continues.
First night in the bed:
