Big Boy Bed

So I know we tried Tristan in his toddler bed before... but this time we got some screws to put the side railings on so he stays better in it. A friend of ours gave us this bed and they didn't have all the screws... but we can't be too upset with a free bed.  Since I am getting larger its harder for me to help put Tristan back to sleep in his crib.  So we thought we'd give his toddler bed a try again.  We had him in our room for this week and we pretty much didn't get any sleep.  I have been having this weird pregnancy insomnia... just being uncomfortable and not falling asleep until like 5 in the morning.  But Bugga would wake up and wanna just get in our bed.  Which isn't a bad thing, but he takes up the whole thing!

Well, Wednesday night he woke up at 3:30 and didn't go back to sleep til 6:45... ugh.  Which was fine for me because I was awake anyways, but Gaetan needed to sleep because Thursdays are one of his long days.  Needless to say we couldn't have more nights like that.  So we put his toddler bed in his room Thursday night to see how that would go.  I planned on not getting a lot of sleep that night either, just because I figured he'd be up a lot.  Pleasantly to my surprise he slept GREAT.  He slept pretty much til about 4, got up once, so I put him back to sleep.  No fuss, just wanted to make sure that we were still here I guess.  Then, around 5:30 I heard the pitter patter of his little feet coming into our room.  Not bad for the first night in his own room.  He has figured out doorknobs so shutting his door only delays him, but its enough usually for me to get there.  He locked our bathroom door too so he couldn't get into the bathroom... which is an interesting thing seeing how I pee about 6 times an hour, but it wasn't too big of a hassle.  :)  I am looking forward to these big changes for our Big Boy!  He amazes me at how much he wants to try new things.

Next big thing on the docket... trying to get him to go potty/poopy in his potty.  He knows when he pees and when he has pooped, but I'm not fast enough sometimes to get him there.  He also has this weird aversion to sitting on his potty, so we will have to work on that too :).

Next week I have my 30 week check up.  I can't believe I'm 30 weeks already, but I am definitely looking forward to not being large anymore!  :)  We are excited for our Ladybug Lu.
