A successful night's sleep


Yesterday we finally put together Kyle's "big boy bed". We bought the mattress, washed the sheets, made up the bed, and followed the night's typical routine. I put Kyle in bed with his beloved blanket and crossed my fingers that he would stay in bed.

I checked on him an hour later and he was sound asleep on the pillow like he'd been doing it his whole life. He slept all night long without waking up (or falling out!). He did end up a little askew, but I think we can call the the transition to a big boy bed successful.

For a night, anyway. I'm not naive enough to assume it will last. I just hope it will.
