Thomas the Tank Engine

The other night we put Nathaniel to bed and he started to cry (as he has been for the last 3 weeks or so). We usually let him cry and he will fall asleep after about 10 minutes. Well on Wednesday he kept crying and crying and it seemed unusually loud. I thought maybe Ken left the door open. He said no, but that he would go check on Nathaniel. Ken was surprised when he opened the door and found Nathaniel right there ready to jump into his arms! WHAT??? How did you get out? Ken snuggled Nathaniel for a bit, then put him back in his crib and he fell asleep. At 5am I heard this huge THUD and I rushed into his room to be greeted by "up, up, Mommy" at the door. Okay, so Nathaniel officially knows how to get out of his crib (although he's not telling how). Thankfully we had a perfect transition for him into a "Thomas" toddler bed.


We had set it up in his room the weekend before and have been letting him climb in/on it during the day. He's been so excited about it.


Anyway, the first night we put him in, he woke up at 1am and I came in, told him it was time to sleep, laid there for 2 minutes then got up and walked out. He slept till 7am! And the last few nights have gone well too (no wake ups!). He even requested his nap in Thomas yesterday (instead of Momma's bed!). And so my little boy is growing up right before my eyes.
