Two days in a row I napped in bed. Not in my crib, but in Mommy and Daddy’s bed. Instead of carrying me and rocking me to sleep, or putting me in my crib, Daddy laid down with me and kept me company as I went down for my nap. Daddy and I had a talk before my nap and he said that he just wanted me to try my best and to stay in bed. He wasn’t going to force me to sleep or anything, but he wanted me to relax and just stay in bed.
I went into the bedroom willingly and climbed into bed happily. I kind of played around with things on the night stand for a while, passing Daddy various items. And when I heard airplanes pass overhead I would peek out the curtain. But eventually I settled down and fell asleep.
Mommy and Daddy were very proud of me! When I woke up from my nap, I got out of bed left the room and was welcomed into the living room with proud congratulatory hugs! All without crying. I’m getting to be a big boy now. I hope I can keep this up. Maybe if I prove I can take naps in a bed instead of a crib I might get a bed of my own.
