Monkeys

These jammies say it all- that my kids are monkeys.

You might have known Bailey was a monkey, who climbed out of her crib at 16 months old, but did you know Blake is one too? After 4 days of climbing out of his pack'n'play multiples times during naptime, mommy decided it was time for him to move to his big boy bed in his room and do some sleep training. To my utmost surprise it couldn't have gone any easier. I am crossing my fingers that we continue to have good luck with this as we are 3 naptimes and 4 nights in!!!


A little bit more to the story is that back in July we moved the kids into a room together and gave Luke back his office. It only took a few days and the kids have been fine sleeping together at night, but we have never tried having them nap together and and still don't think it would work. So, Blake was napping in a pack'n'play in the nook in our room, which is about to be Blair's space and Bailey has been in her & Blake's room. Oh, the joys of a 3 bedroom house when your husband needs a home office. Anyways, this has worked great except that Blake is a light sleeper and has realized that mommy is napping in the same room as him, which is why I think he has started climbing out.


So, since Bailey plays for an hour and then naps for an hour, she is now spending that time in the playroom on the couch, Blake gets his bed in his room, and that way Blair has her own space in our room. Whew, are you keeping up with all this, because I am not sure I am.  And what a time for all this to happen? I am just thankful that we were able to get this established before baby time.
