So Evan is sleeping in his big boy bed for the first time. He's been crying when we put him down the last couple of nights and ray had to hold him till he was asleep and then put him down. Last night ray tried to put him down and Evan started trying to climb out of the crib. So ray had to get up and pick him up and hold him again. So this morning ray moved the toddler bed in. He put the crib behind the bed. Evan immediately climbed over the headboard of the toddler bed and into the crib and then tried to climb back out again. So ray took the crib apart and put it back together in Grace's room. So I tried to put ev down for a nap. As soon as I put him in the toddler bed he actually laid there for a bit. I walked out and stood by the door. Within a couple of minutes a little hand reached through the door and tried to get out. I put him back in bed and sat on the floor beside his bed. He immediately stood up, grabbed his giraffe and blanket and climbed down and sat in my lap. So I picked him up and sat with him in the rocking chair. I waited a few minutes till he settled down. I held him a few more minutes and then took him over to the bed. When I laid him down he opened his eyes a few times. I walked out and stood by the door and listened. He didn't get out of bed and he's been sleeping for about an hour in his new bed. I'm not sure holding him till he's really sleepy is the best plan but we think he needs to get used to the idea that he sleeps in that bed. We'll see how it goes.
