So, this week has been tough. We snipped Miles' "pass" and he immediately knew it was "broken." He didn't want it anymore, but he wanted something and I wasn't giving it to him. Then we took a trip to Palmyra for the weekend which was fabulous until the ride home... Miles screamed for three hours. It was awesome. I was so VERY tempted to give it to him, but I'm really glad that I didn't.
Once he got over the whole pass issue, we bought his big boy bed and let him pick out his own sheets. It was a tough choice, but Thomas prevailed over Mickey, Elmo and even Ka Chow. We put together his bed and Miles helped me put the new sheets on. We practiced going to sleep and it seemed to have worked. I put him down that night and he cried for about a minute and then he fell asleep. Of course, I put a little mattress on the side of his bed hoping that it would catch him if he rolled off, but I think he thought that was for sleeping too because when I went up to check on him- he was kneeling half way on his bed and half way on the other matress. I guess he fell asleep praying.
Get this: After a few nights without falling off his bed, I figured I could get rid of the mattress on the floor. Bad idea. Last night I awoke to a loud thud and I had a suspicion it wasn't just a toy that fell off the bed. David assured me that Miles was fine and that I shouldn't go check on him. So I didn't. I figured that if it was Miles he would've woken up or cried or something. But, this morning I crept up the stairs and found Miles on the floor! He has a bruise on his forehead. Poor Kid.
Luckilly, he figured it out...Now it's time for potty training. I'm so nervous. I think we will give him a few more nights in his big boy bed before we start.
Monday is the day.

Let's just start by saying you are amazing!! Getting Owen in the big boy bed was a 3 month process, which was probably my own fault because I left the crib up. And no one told me to let him pick out the sheets, genius! I am very curious as to what miles wanted after the pacifier was broken? Is miles still on the tit? I sure hope not, but if so that's totally cool. Good luck next week. When your done can you come to my house and train Owen? thankssomuch!
Good Job Cicely! Those are two not so easy tasks. Doesn't it make you wonder what you did with all your time before having kids?
Sounds like you guys are definately busy! I can't believe Miles didn't cry when he feel out of his bed! How funny!
Isn't it amazing how hard it can be to get a kid in a big kid bed? I never thought it would be so hard when I switched with Joanna--I just figured we'd stick her in a bed once Enoch needed the crib. I am glad you had better forsight. Good luck with the PTing.
You are SO in trouble, lil'miss! Um...we are like 45 mins away from Palmyra and you didn't even call!?
