Bad Mommy

So I have finally uploaded all my posts from the past 2 weeks. . .if you are wanting to catch up it may take you awhile since I haven’t posted anything since the 4th of July and here it is the 22nd! I have added all Stratton’s parties and all about his new room! So, if you have some (ok, a lot) free time take a look at what we’ve been up to. I will try to do better!!

I my defense-things have been insane. Jarrod is working like crazy, we’ve been birthday-ing it up and work for me is super busy and stressful! We have a big meeting in a week and I have to give a presentation to the entire company. . . along with planning the meeting and doing the stuff I do everyday! And I have had lots of invitation projects in the past few weeks too. I remember my mom saying “A woman’s work is never done”- she was so right!

The “big boy bed” . . .

Actually the transition has been easier than I expected. We kept the crib in the office just in case we needed it. But I think its safe to say that we won’t be turning back now. The first few nights he would whine and cry a little but now, he lays right down and goes to sleep and stays in bed till we get him up. We tell him everyday how proud we are that he is sleeping in his big boy bed and what a big boy he is, so I think that positive reinforcement has helped, too.  We did have a little scare yesterday morning, Jarrod went to get him up and he wasn’t in his bed. . . .he was laying beside his bed in the floor- sound asleep! We have no idea if he crawled out or fell out (highly unlikely since we have those rails up)?? My thought is maybe he was sleep walking and crawled down and couldn’t get back up, his bed is pretty tall and he can’t get in it without help. Who knows- they sleep on mats on the floor at school maybe he was dreaming he was at school?? Anyway, we have a video monitor still and we didn’t hear anything so I don’t think he fell out? it’s a mystery we will never know the answer to! But thankfully he slept in it all night last night. I’m sure that is the first of many stories we will have about him sleeping in his big bed!
