Serious big boy- taken at 28 months

We are going to set up Beau's big boy bed tomorrow. We are dreading it. He still takes soooo long to put to sleep at night and now that he can get out of his crib, we have to make sure he isn't freaking out about being put in there so that he won't jump out. Ugg. I am tired of working so hard 2X a day to get him to sleep. Poor Leland, I just lay him down, no song, no rocking, nothing. Wish us luck. Beau is very funny- if he thinks this is his choice and gets excited about it, it might work out ok. Step 2 is to put Leland in there with him. With Leland getting up in the night now and the boys going down at such different times, we are asking for it. But, we don't want Leland sleeping in the dining room anymore. I think we might have to just throw them in together and let them work it out. I'm off to get Leland who instead of sleeping, is screaming. Ah- motherhood... That's why God makes them so cute. That big boy got great hair and a dose of serious grouchiness to even things out.

We moved Anthony at around 2 and it was hard but doable. We had to put a hook and eye lock on the door, though!
