it kind of makes us cringe a little doesn't? no more cage like contraption for your kid. no place to set them, knowing they won't disappear. when we moved we decided to make the transition. he has been attempting to climb out of his crib for quite some time. he has yet to be successful, but he has gotten his legs caught a couple of times because of it.
it's been a trip. the first night, he fell out of bed, so we concocted this set up with a HUGE pillow (that i used when i was pregnant) to keep him tucked in. he's sleeping in it really well, the tough part is the going to sleep thing. for the past week, we've been rocking him to sleep, per the transition and what not it's just been easier. the other day, i tried to forgo rocking.
it didn't work.
last night, we let him scream.
we told him we loved him, kissed him, gave him his ni-night, and we left.
and the screaming began.
it lasted for maybe an hour. we could hear him getting out of bed, pitter pattering to the door, screaming, running back to his bed, running back to the door. mike finally went in when all was quiet. he found him sleeping on a blanket on the floor. we're going to go with this plan for a while.
he's down for a nap this morning because he was craaaaannnkky!
the pitter-patter continues, though this time, no screaming.
all in the name of progress, right?
