We went to the mall yesterday and William picked out his new sheets and quilt in hopes of making it a really fun experience. Trains, cars, buses, diggers, of course. We also got him a book about Elmo moving from a crib to a big bed. He loved the book. I read it to him once and then he said he would read it, literally repeating each page form memory! It was pretty impressive.

We didn't have the guard rail up initially for nap time and he fell asleep, but only with me rubbing his back. Then a thunderstorm came and he jumped out of bed crying for us. He probably slept for 30 minutes.

Then bed time wasn't so hard. He liked the guard rail that was now up and kept going up and down. I rubbed his back for a few minutes and left him before he had fallen asleep. He cried a short time later asking for me to tuck him back in then fell asleep until around 3am. Then he cried again for me to tuck him in, and again, and again, and again. Probably every 30 minutes-1 hour after 3am, it was a request for being tucked in. He usually sleeps all over the place not with his blankets over him. I think the position of a pillow and sleeping one way the whole night was kind of foreign, which is why I think he needed help getting back into position when he woke up and the quilt wasn't over him anymore. hopefully he gets use to that soon because I was up more than I was with a newborn!
Wake up time was 7am. Not the norm for William. He's usually asleep till 7:30a. Grace slept till 8:15a. The tables have turned for those two.
So night time wasn't the most desirable situation, but we just need to get William over the fact that he doesn't need US to tuck him in all night long - he can tuck himself in :)
We shall see how nap time goes today... But William does tell us he likes his new bed, so that's a good start!
