It's happening!! Kyle is sleeping in HIS BED! I shared forever ago that we were co-sleepers, and its not working out for me. I LOVE my babies, but every mom needs a little break. We tried the sticker chart a few months ago to get him to sleep in his own bed, but our summer was so busy and we were traveling so much it was hard to be consistent.
A few weeks ago I strapped on my mommy boots, stuck to my guns, posted up the sticker chart and got Kyle to sleep in his own bed! The first couple nights were tough, but they have gotten better. He still wakes up 1-2 times a night, but he no longer sneaks into our bed (which I had gotten so used to I wouldn't even wake up, which did not help with the bed training). Last night around 1:45am he stood next to my bed and asked sweetly "Mama will you come snuggle me in my big boy bed?" I tucked him in, laid with him for a minute and he was good for the rest of the night. My little man always whispers as I am walking out of his room "mom will you close my door." Only 3 year old I know who wants his door closed =)
I am hoping this waking up will end soon enough. The GREAT news is he is in his own bed, and liking it! Now to get Hailey- who wakes up YELLING at me several times a night to stop doing that and sleeping in her room. Baby steps I guess =)
In the mean time. I am so proud of my Kyle!!!! He is growing up so much.
So exciting! I am dreading the change with Connor.I think I am more attached to his crib than he is...

Sophia wakes up a million times a night screaming as well. It's hard, Emma was never like this. But then again, Emma slept with me until she was 2 1/2. I'm ready for Sophia to sleep through the night already!!
