Big Boy Crib


This little boy obviously thinks he rules the bed and naptime. Since we took the rail off of Asher's crib this past weekend, we have been working on helping him to realize he does NOT rule at naptime. This afternoon I decided to keep a log of what exactly happened as I attempted to get Asher to take a nap!
Here he is with everything in place for sleeping Pacifier? check! Blanket? check! Roo Roo? check!

1:07 - Laid down for a nap
1:09 Sitting up in his bed ready to jump out.
1:10 Heard me coming and jumped back in bed
1:12 Physically laid Asher back in bed and removed the Winnie the Pooh blanket he doesn't like so he would lay his head down. (His socks are off now)
1:13 & 1:14 - Laid him back down
1:18 Standing up in crib, reminded him that he could have a heart cookie after he took a nap.
1:29 Asher asked for a diaper change, but with a quick smell check it doesn't appear he needs one. He's now talking about a heart cookie
1:34 Standing up asking for a heart cookie
1:36 Sitting up asking for fan on
1:40"Done sleeping, heart cookie"
1:44 The CD he has listened to every night before bed since being home from the hospital almost 2 years ago has ended, crying starts
1:47 - 1:49 Crying for music to be on
1:50 Laying with head half way off the bed
2:02 Almost ONE HOUR! Feet banging on crib Talking to Roo Roo
2:18 Quietly sitting in corner of bed
2:21 SLEEPING AT LAST!!! (One hour and 14 minutes - not bad compared with earlier this week!)
