Bedtime Update

So it's been a little while since I gave an update about bedtime. Rogan still has his freedom. And that will definitely not change. He has done a great job, all things considered. Last week we had 5 straight nights of him not getting up in the middle of the night and sleeping past 5:30. Great! Then he caught some kind of bug, and was sick with a cough/mild fever for 2 nights. One he got up several times, the other he got up at 10pm and slept with us the whole night propped up so he didn't get as clogged up. But we don't want to make a habit of this. So last night he was back in his bed, and slept until 4:30am. not terrible, but he went to bed too early because he was recovering, so an early wake up was kind of expected. Yawn. He will be going to bed later tonight if things go the right way.

But he is a ROCKSTAR at bedtime. We no longer have to be in there until he falls asleep. Last night I was sure he was going to come bolting out the door. After I left he was asking for me playfully. "MOMMY!!!, where ARE YOU!!" was said several times, and we could hear him talking to himself. But he never got up! he went to bed on his own (after we brushed teeth, rocked, and I tucked him in, of course). So that part of the routine is great, now we just need to perfect the morning routine and we will be all set.

He's still in his crib mattress, but we want to switch him to the full bed and use the crib for baby #2. Still debating on the best time to bring the bed into his room. Maybe birthday time?
