Payback?

I guess I'm getting payback for having a great sleeping baby with a non sleeping toddler. Campbell has been sleeping with us since October.. I know, I know.. bad habit. He would have no part of his baby bed anymore. I'm not sure if something bit him or he pinched his finger or what.. but he would not sleep in it. I let him "cry it out" for an hour at a time. Only to go get him and within 5 seconds he would be asleep on the couch. Now we're experimenting with the "big boy" bed. He loves it... during the day. At night I put him down, I have to lie down with him too (Another bad habit). I'm trying to break that habit early... sometimes threatening Swayze's bed (his baby bed) works... other times it doesn't.. Downside of the toddler bed? He can get out of it. He woke up four times last night. I could hear his little feet pitter pattering across the house with his blanket in tow. He peeked into our room and then hopped in our bed. I hauled him back to his bed.. stopping by Swayze's room each time and showing him the baby bed. He was up for good at 7 this morning. He went down without a big fight for a nap in his own bed... That's progress.. I'll take it!


Starts here...

... and ends up here

We are experiencing the same thing with coleson. He starts out in his bed and then ends up in ours. I will take him back to his bed and in a few hours he's back. He usually ends up in our bed at some point. There's just so many times I can keep going back and forth. I don't have a clue how to break it. I wish I did. We aren't getting much sleep these days at my house. Hope yours gets better.
