My boys are pretty much complete opposites when it comes to sleeping habits, and thank goodness for that! I’m not sure how well I would have handled having two with Porter’s sleeping habits. Now Parker’s on the other hand….
Parker has been sleeping through the night since he was a mere six weeks old. Some don’t believe that, but this isn’t like one of those exaggerated fishing type stories, it’s for real. Knowing all I’ve told the world about Porter, don’t you think I’d tell the truth no matter how frustrating, embarrassing, or unbelievable? You better believe it!
Parker has become a little more independent recently. Though still fairly tiny and nowhere near resembling an almost four-year-old, he is now able to open doors. Shortly after mastering this skill, he accomplished another one, climbing into his crib from the outside, even when the rail was all the way up. We knew that climbing or falling OUT of the crib was soon to follow, so we decided to take the side rail completely off.
We wondered how this would work out. Would he continue sleeping through the night? Would he try to escape from his room now that he could also open doors? The first night seemed to go off without a hitch. He laid right down like he usually does, but what would happen when he woke up in the morning? “Na na, na na,” accompanied Parker knocking on his door from inside his bedroom. He was knocking to be let out. Seriously? This was just too easy! A nap would be the real test, a test he passed yet again with flying colors. He just waits on the other side of the door until we come get him.
Tonight we tried to put him in the big bed, or I should say the bigger bed since even his crib looks big with him laying in it. He laid down, we shut the door. A bit later we went to check on him, he was back in his crib, and sleeping like the “baby” he is. Clint wants to take the crib down. I’m not sure I’m ready for that so I’ll use the size excuse for as long as I can.
