Over the past few days we have entered a new phase here at the Bullington house...Truman no longer wants to be in his crib and makes multiple athletic attempts to flee said crib! If memory serves, the last time this happened he ended up with a cast on his left arm for 3weeks...soooo out of the crib we went, mattress on the floor, gate on the door and screaming for mama before passing out curled up in his blankies next to the gate:(. Rough stuff to sit through again but I know that teaching him good sleep habits now will benefit him in the long run so I push through! 2.5 hrs the first night, 1 hr the second night and up from 1-3am with mom in the floor and then 45min for nanny last night but ended up back to square one due to a lack of patience and sleep!
Had a fun girls night out with my ladies Mamajito and Kiddy, went to The Loft in Edmonds for drinks, appies and some much needed and appreciated girl time:). Because I caved and Truman slept in the bed with me I actually got to sleep until almost 8am ahh sweet sleep how you are needed!
I've really been stressing about what to do, not sure Truman is really ready for a big boy bed, stressing because he's been sick and not getting good sleep etc etc. But today as I was getting ready to put him in his crib for nap trying to hit the reset button seeing if maybe I pretend the last week hadn't happened he would to. I look up and notice that the back part of Trumans crib that sits up against the wall is quite a bit taller (good 6-8in) than the front and something so simple that had eluded me for the past 4 days clicked! I turned Trumans crib around so the tall part is in the front, did our normal routine and put him down for nap...he cried for about 7min and is sleeping soundly!! Wuhuuu!! Small victory, I'll take it!!
I've officially bought us a few more days until he figures out his next escape route, (which could be a doozy) until then I think we will all sleep a little easier, including Truman...a little;)
- time to relax a little mama
