big man! pt 3

well, it's our third night of kullen in his big boy room/bed

things are getting better and better each night!

last night - we were slightly thrown off, but in a good way.

kullen hung out with us, in our room/bed until 9pm

[until after big brother!]

once it was over, we asked him if he wanted to go in his room

and read a story or two.

he quickly obliged! 

he picked two books but of course, pulled a kullen

and didn't let me finish reading them

so i put the books away and told him it was time for sleep.

we turned the light off and he cried for a minute

but within 10 minutes, he was out!

our shortest time yet!

around 3:30

-which seems to be the every night wake-up time-

he began to cry and whine so i went in and laid with him.

i, of course, fell asleep and was woken up to adam opening the door around 4:20

big dummy [lybabe] didn't turn the hallway light off

so kullen awoke too

AND

did.not.go.back.to.sleep!

UGH.

so, aside from being up almost an hour before i had to be

and trying to fight with kullen to go back to bed

this transition is going better than i thought.

this weekend we will be putting the TV in his room

and letting him watch a movie before bed.

i figure it's best to try it out on a weekend

in case he's up for hours watching tv and/or playing in his room.

but, let me just say

i doubt it will go over well

him being alone in his room, i mean. 

something else BIG regarding kullen and sleep

he has gone without his ninny since sleeping in his bed!

there has been one IN his bed

but every time i go in there, it's either in his hand or on the bed somewhere

never in his mouth.

and this morning when he was awake and i was fighting to get him back to sleep

he did cry for ninny

but i didn't give it to him!

i am not taking it away from him totally, just yet

but we are starting with baby steps

and i think it's going well!

now

if we could just get the boy potty trained!

;)

HAPPY THURSDAY!

i have no 'embrace' picture for this week

i'm just too tired to even push the shutter button to even take a pic! HA!
