Mission Big Boy: Big Boy Bed

Update: we are sleeping better, we are all sleeping better. We are considering the current situation a significant improvement while the average family would still be in the middle of disaster. We have been forced to have very low standards or we would not survive.

Since this weekend, we have had to let Gabriel cry to bed or he won't go at all. As I have said before, if this kid would sleep with me (anywhere) I would do it in a second but he won't so he's not. Things are also much better since I put the rail on the mattress on the floor. He needed an extra tall, extra long rail. If you've seen him jump and run around you will understand he sleeps like that too. Till the rail was up he must have fallen out of bed 18 times a night. I used velcro to put the bumper on the wall and the rail so he's like in a really big crib with an escape open end.

After crying he usually sleeps all the way through the night till later morning like this morning he woke up just before 6AM and we did not get him so he went back to the mattress till 7:30. He cried to nap today and slept for 2 hours-Gee, guess he was tired. We are feeling better, he is much more pleasant and so am I. He is eating more too, not enough but more. He had two meals in a cup today.

He's still got the cough despite finishing the antibiotics, we may take another trip to the doctor again tomorrow.

Hope you liked my update. I have not had a chance to take any new pictures of Mission Big Boy Bed, Gabriel is a menance when he is up here.

It's not Disney but everyone wants to go there. Hopefully we will be going to the great state of Minnesota in June for the Land of the Loon Festival. I know you're all jealous. This is the world's largest floating loon bryan is always talking about. Maybe special for Easter he'll do the loon call for everyone.
