An Update

A few weeks ago I blogged about our attempt to put Oliver in a big boy bed. I say attempt because, at this point, he still isn't actually sleeping in his bead. So about a week ago we decided to scrap the crib converted toddler bed and just get a twin mattress. It seemed silly to work so hard to get him to sleep in the crib converted bed only to have to put him in toddler bed later and do it all again. We thought maybe now he won't think the bed is broken, maybe now he will sleep in it. Nope. No matter what we say, how hard we try to persuade him, or what we do, he refuses to sleep in his bed. He will jump on it, play on it, read on it. But as soon as we say goodnight and leave the room to the carpet he goes. Michael asked him one day, "Why do you like to sleep on the carpet?" He said, "The carpet is nice." He said, "How long did you sleep on the carpet?" He said, "10 minutes." What are we going to do with him? We are just hoping that one day he figures out that the bed really is much more comfortable than the carpet on the floor. We just hope the day comes sooner rather than later. Here are some pictures of his new bed. And a few of how we have found him after he has fallen asleep.

The new bed.

I asked him to show me where he sleeps and this is what he did.

He always sleeps right behinds the door.
