Bigger beds

Over the weekend we moved the boys to bigger beds.  Jake is now sleeping in a toddler bed and Caleb is in Jake's old crib.  We put the beds up in the morning so the boys would have a chance to get used to sleeping in them before bedtime.  We put up the video monitor to check on them and make sure they were okay.  Jake cried and got out of the bed and banged on the door until we had to yell at him to lay down.  He eventually fell asleep and was very anxcious to get out of the room when he woke up.  Because he didn't take a second nap in the afternoon, at bedtime he was exhausted and fell asleep right away.  It's going to be a hard transition for him.  He usually handles new things very well, but something about this bed is throwing him off.  We will have to stay vigilant and help him learn to stay in bed when we put him down to sleep.

This is an hour into nap, still awake and walking around. Finally fell asleep at the 2 hour mark.

Caleb handled his transition much better.  He sleeps like a champ in the crib.  He is such a good baby! He is in the crib, asleep by 8:30 pm and wakes up around 6:00 am.  I think he would sleep longer if his brother wouldn't wake him up, but there's nothing I can do about that.  Our job with him is to get him to fall asleep in the crib not in his bouncy seat.  It's hard because Jake is in bed at 7 pm and Cal doesn't go to bed until 8 pm.  Either we will push Jake back or Caleb earlier.  Hopefully both boys are sleeping perfectly by the end of the month.
