Bedtime Beakthrough

Last week we started trying to get CJ to sleep in his big boy bed. It has been a really hard challenge getting him to stay in bed. Finally we came up with a reward system. Every time he stayed in bed for however long we said then he would get a glow in the dark star to hang above his head. It started out with one min. and he has been doing really well and got up to three min. Then last night he finally got really tired and laid in bed quietly and he stayed in bed for 15 min. and went to sleep by himself! Mommy and Daddy were so proud of him that we went to the toy store today and let him pick a prize out for being such a big boy. The toy that we finally ended up with is a firetruck. It makes noises and lights up. It even sings a song. CJ loves it and we played with it all night tonight. We are so proud of our big boy, he keeps getting bigger and bigger every day and it is fun to see the new things that he learns how to do.
