Big Boy Bed

Days 1-5

Saturday :
"Hey honey, you know what would be funny? Putting Eliot in his big boy bed to sleep!"
"Geat idea!"
Result :
9:30pm (after Fun Planet)- Put Eliot in bed, he got out, repeat about 10x. Rock Eliot to sleep then put him in bed.
1:30am - Here a large THUD, and find myself in Eliot's room picking him up off the floor at the foot of his bed (the one place we don't have a guard rail) before I've even fully awakened. He falls asleep immediately.
7:30am - Woken up by a little munchkin coming into our room. Perfect!

Sunday :
Rock to sleep for nap
Rock to sleep for bedtime, sleeps through until 6:45am

Monday :
Decide we should really not be rocking him to sleep because he needs to learn to stay in his bed.
7-10pm - Put Eliot into his bed, finally falls asleep and sleeps through until 6:30

Tuesday : Same

Wednesday : same, with one THUD around 2am, that resulted in Frederic falling asleep in Eliot's bed until I went and dragged him out around 4am.

Thursday : Some progress!
Nap- takes 30 minutes to get him down, including 3 10 minute cry-it-outs with the door fully closed (he can't turn the handle yet)
bedtime : 40 minutes to get him down, with 2 10 minute cry-it-outs


The image quality is bad because I took it in the dark with the flash off, and he flipped his head over right as the camera went off.
