Big Boy Room!

It's about time!! We finally moved William into his big boy room. Alan was able to paint, set up his furniture and baby proof the room in a very short time this weekend. We put him down for a nap in there yesterday and it went horribly. He was playing and yelling downstairs and not at all interested in getting some sleep. Alan finally moved him back into his crib but it was too late. He was so riled up that he ended up with no nap. That made for a "fun" cranky evening!

Then it was time for bed. We put William down in his big boy bed. He ended up crying for 30 minutes. Our plan was to give him 30 minutes and then put him in the crib and try again the next night. Just when we were about to move him, he stopped. He ended up falling asleep in his big boy bed. He did wake up at 5am crying because he was unsure about his new surroundings. I walked into his room and he asked to be put back into the crib.

So, today for nap time, I asked him if he wanted to go in his crib or his big boy bed for a nap. He chose the big boy bed and had me close the door to his room. I could hear him talking and playing for about a half an hour and then silence. He ended up taking his very first nap in the big boy bed. Bedtime went much smoother than the previous night. It seems as though he is quickly adjusting to his new bed and his big boy room. :)
