Big Boy Bed!

Friends of ours gave us this little toddler bed that their son had grown out of. I set it up a few days ago in Yoyo's room and tonight I am taking the big plunge and am going to start "training" him to sleep in his new bed. I'd like to keep him in his crib cuz let's be honest, it's a lot easier and he goes to sleep really easily in it. BUT, I've noticed a couple of times him making somewhat feeble attempts to get out. Also, I don't want him to start thinking of his race car bed as a place to play and jump around before he's learned to sleep in it. Add to that that I am desperately hoping that this will help him learn to sleep through the night. He still falls asleep with a bottle (say nothing you judgers whose children have naturally learned to sleep through the night on their own...you know who you are :) ) and I think when he wakes up he "needs" a bottle to fall back asleep as he hasn't learned to fall asleep without one.
So yeah, I'm a little terrified at what the next few nights will have in store for me...Yoyo is one super persistent little dude and I know he will put up a good fight. So the plan is to keep a glass of wine close by and hope that I can out persist him putting him back in bed a million times over. Yeah, wish me luck.

We've had a busy last week. We've had a couple of playdates, gone tobogganing, went out for supper with one of my toon town peeps and her husband, took Yoyo skating again, and due to the fact that I don't have a babysitter yet, Yoyo even accompanied us to our friends house where we watched the UFC (and he stayed up and was happy the whole time...well except for when he got put in timeout for throwing a car on their glass coffee table...and the kid has got a really good arm so lets just say he's lucky I didn't have to pay for a new table out of his bank account!). This week we don't have much planned but the weather is supposed to be really nice so I'm sure we will spend a lot of time outside.
