Big Boy Bed! & I am an AUNTIE!

Posted by clikchic on Jan 7, 2007 in Family Scraps |

After more than 2 months of waiting for Kyan’s bed to arrive it finally arrived (BROKEN! but that is a whole other story - still waiting on replacement parts) just before we went on holiday’s and he wouldn’t have a bar of it, so we had to put him in the portacot while were were away again.

When we got back we decided to switch him over after he was asleep at night… since he wouldn’t oblige while he was awake! We did that with Jaz and it worked a treat. She got used to waking up in the bed and after a while would go to sleep in it from being awake.

Anyway, the first night of trying to pick him up was a bust as he was lying on his tummy as he always does and he woke up when Dean tried to pick him up. I suggested to Dean to try letting him resettle on his shoulder first before putting him in the ‘Wiggles’ bed. (he has a Wiggles doona cover) Well the second night that worked a treat and he woke up very surprised that he was in the ‘Wiggles’ bed. We did that for a few nights and it was going well until one night he woke and Dean could not resettle him to put him in the big bed, so we left him there.. then at around 1am he woke up screaming and when Dean went in he wanted to go in the Wiggles bed. Dean put him in there and he went back to sleep without a problem! We were totally stumped as to why he would suddenly do that!

Then last night, he was being very cranky at bed time so Dean put him crying in his cot. After a few minutes I went in to resettle him and he asked to be put in the wiggles bed again! WAHOO! I think we are making progress!

Normally I probably would have left him in the cot a while longer since he is not even 2 yet, but we have someone who needs the cot!!!!

I can’t believe that I have not posted about this yet!!! I have been so busy setting into life as a working Mum that I haven’t had a chance to do much blog posting.. I am doing lots of catching up now while I am on holidays. (go back to work tomorrow )

Anyway, I am an AUNTIE again! My brother and his wife had a baby girl in November. Her name is Mikaela Paige and she was less than 7lb’s (born 3wks early) and wait for it… 56cm’s long! She is going to be tall like her father me thinks!

Anyway, I am going to do a layout very soon.. and will post here when I have done it.
