First night in the big boy bed!

**Update**
Well, James made it through his first night okay. He liked being in his bed and never asked to come out, but he woke up all throughout the night and wanted one of us in there while he fell back asleep (which takes about an hour each time). So we're all tired today, but I guess this is preparing us really well for having a newborn again! :) I have a feeling it's just going to take a few weeks for him to get to where he's sleeping through the night again. We're about to go try naptime in the big boy bed. I might just go lay down with him and take a nap, too!

Last night when I went to check on him before bed, he had already scooted himself into this position above. I picked him up and put pillows between the bed and the walls. He is such a mover when he sleeps, so we definitely needed the rail and wall for boundaries.
Hope everyone is having a great start to the week!




James is tucked away right now for his first night in his big boy bed. The going to bed process went really well (thankfully!!), and he actually went to sleep within about 10 minutes of laying down. This is great, since he has been having a really hard time going to bed lately. James has been the best night time routiner since he was a baby, but every night for the past two weeks, he's taken about an hour to go to sleep and wants one of us in there, sitting on the floor by the crib. Before that, it was a five minute routine and putting him to bed awake without any problems ever. That was kind of perfect timing, though, to start messing up bedtime two weeks before moving to a new bed and starting a new routine!

Below are some pictures and a 6 minute long video of his first night going to bed like a big boy.









I'll let you know tomorrow how the night went! Say a little prayer for us to all sleep well tonight! The past three nights he has gotten up at all hours of the night (also very rare for James), so we are praying that this will reset his body to get back in good sleeping habits!
