Big Boy Bed

Two nights ago we were given large wall decorations that consisted of a truck and tractor for Chase's room. We put them by his "big boy" bed (the bottom bunk) to hopefully create more of an atmosphere that he would want to be a part of. He has been refusing to sleep in his bed for several months now and we have tried everything. Each time would result in him crying in the room next to his crib, crying "crib" and wanting to get back in where he was used to sleeping. But because of these new decorations, Chase was ready to make the transition on Wednesday night.

So far he has stayed in his bed throughout both nights, and one of the naps during the day. The other times I went in his room to find him sitting or laying on his toy box waiting for me to come in after nap time. This morning, however, I wasn't expecting him to actually fall asleep for his nap because our condo is being painted outside and there are all sorts of noises that would keep him awake. When his nap time was up I went to open the door, expecting to see him doing who knows what. What I found instead was that I couldn't open his door! I didn't want to push too hard, so I went and got a flashlight to shine it under his door's crack to see what the blockade was...it was him! I could see about an inch worth of his ear, his arm, and his leg, he was totally out of it. Me pushing the door into him didn't even wake him, and as I write this he is still sleeping on the floor next to the door. Pretty funny. I was going to try and take a picture, but the crack under the door is too small for the camera to catch anything.
