Jackson graduated to his big boy bed! We were going to wait but he has recently been jumping in his crib a lot and somehow figured out how to drop the crib railing. So, we figured it would be safer if we made the switch. Last night we tried it for the first time. We did our routine as normal, everything the same... potty, brush teeth, story with Daddy, prayer, bedtime... he laid down in his bed and we said "night-night". We closed the door and he did great... no problem... for 15 minutes. Then the freaking out began. We don't know why... maybe he rolled off the bed or something, but he was crying and screaming and got out of bed and opened the door. We put him back in his bed over and over until finally we had mercy on him and decided to calm him down by staying with him for a while... 2 hours later, after many made-up stories from Daddy... he had settled back down and was laying down. We said goodnight again and left with him still awake. It was almost 11:30 by then, and we were exhausted... he must have been too because he didn't make a sound after that and slept until 8:10 this morning! We were so glad he didn't roll out of bed and wake up in the middle of the night! Tonight, we definitely won't stay as long, but we are going to be a little more firm. We will let you all know how it is going!

I hate that stage!! Jonas and Brynnan were both actually pretty good about it though. It was easier with Brynnan because Jonas had a bed like that and they shared a room. so it was fun to have a big boy bed!:) I hope it's going better now!!:)
