This week we have made HUGE PROGRESS!!!!  The first Saturday of summer we transformed the crib into the toddler bed!  He fell out of it twice (no injuries)…good thing it’s close to the floor.  I just noticed that those eyes behind the crib are kinda creepy, lol!

The second night he only fell out once!  Then the ac went out in the house…that’s when I panicked!!  I panicked because he sleeps well in the dark…he can sleep up to 14 hours a night in the right conditions.  And believe me he needs those 14 hours!  So when I couldn’t close the door cause we needed the stand alone ac in the hall to reach his room I knew we could possibly encounter problems.  But I couldn’t give up.  So we closed his door (with fans in his room) and opened them once he was asleep.  He did rise early but it was fine….7am wasn’t as bad as it could have been.  So far it’s been a week and I’m happy to report he is doing GREAT with his big boy bed!  He won’t even get out and roam the house….he stays in bed until we tell him he can get out…it’s so cute and I will let that last as long as possible, lol!!

 

So for the next big boy step was to get him off the bottle!  With the help of his awesome teachers we successfully got him off of the bottle for water but for some reason I couldn’t convince him to not want the bottle for milk (or dilk as he says, hehe).  So I had this bright idea to mail the bottles to the babies!!  I’ve heard of people doing it for paci’s so I thought we could try  it.  And IT WORKED!!!  Sure he asked for them a couple of times but since I took pictures I’d just pop them up on my phone and show him as a reminder that they went to the babies and he was fine.

 

Packing them up!

Mailing them out!

 

SUCCESS!!!!  Oh and it was ravioli day…had to cover up that white shirt!

 

Next up….hardcore potty training!!  I’m good with other kids at this but for some reason mine just don’t want to do it.  But it’s time…he is going to have no choice!.
