what a night 2 and 3...

Toddler bed update
Night 2: went to bed fine; woke up at 11pm--I laid him back down; woke up at 3:30am and about every 15 times after that until 5am--each time he gets out of his bed and goes to his door asking for mama and daddy--a few times escaped from his room and one time locked himself in his room; after that point of pure exhaustion for all of us, S. decided to go sleep on the floor in his room and that did the trick until morning, but definitely not something to make a habit out of.

Night 3: had a meltdown after we laid him down--we tried to just let him cry and see if he would go back to bed--no dice, so we went in, put him back in bed and he finally went to sleep; woke up at 3:00am and about every 5 minutes until 4:15am--would be at his door, I would tell him to go to his bed and he would run right back to it and then I would tuck him in and rub his face, say a prayer, or sing a song to make him feel better; finally at 4:15am I didn't have anything left and didn't know what else to do, so I woke S. up; he went and tucked him in and he slept until 4:30am; just at the point I had finally fallen asleep for the first time in an hour and a half, N. woke up and I tucked him in once more, then he went back to sleep until 7am this morning.  I've never been so excited to see that the clock said 7:00 as I was today:)

So maybe we've had a little bit of progress, but we've still got a long way to go and lots of sleep to catch up on.
