Lately, I have been thinking about how to transition Tyler to a "big boy" bed. This morning he woke up around 4a and called my name. When I walked into his room, he had his arms up saying, "out." So, I picked him up and walked him to my bed. He drank a small cup of milk and went back to sleep.
While putting him to bed tonight, he began crying a screaming. I could not understand why. Normally, he just lays in the crib and goes to sleep. I laid him in my bed up on the pillows and allowed him to watch TV for a bit. He was quiet and actually just laid there. I walked into the room to check on him. He looked at me and said, "Mommy, Bye-bye" and began waving.
Well, of course he couldn't stay in my bed. So when I took him back to his bed the crying and screaming began again. Eventually, I put a pillow in the crib. He arranged it according to his liking, laid down, and went to sleep. Not sure if it is the whole want to sleep in a big boy bed thing or he just wanted a pillow thing. Tyler staying in the crib is really about me. He is contained and I can get things done. I just have to teach him to stay in his "big boy" bed when it is time for bed.
