It’s Party Time!

September 21, 2012 by OneMommy

Ready to celebrate with us?

Not just because it’s Friday (although sometimes that is enough reason to celebrate)…

No, today we are celebrating because my son has slept in his own bed, all night long, for 7 nights in a row.how to get preschooler to sleep in own bed

People, this is cause for a celebration!  He has NEVER, EVER, EVER done that in all of his 3 years and 4 months.  Once, ONCE, he slept in his own room all night for 5 nights in a row.  Usually it is 2 nights, and then the next he is stumbling into our room at 2 a.m.

Yes, we tried the put him back in the room method, over and over and over…  It didn’t work for us.  Instead of more nights where no one got any sleep, we set up a spot for him next to our bed.

Earlier this week I realized it had been 3 nights in a row that he had stayed in bed.  I don’t know why, but I found myself telling him that if he slept in his own bed for 7 nights we’d have a party.

So it’s a party we’re having, complete with decorated paper table-cloth, balloons, party hats, and cupcakes!

Yes, around here everyone is celebrating, even the dog!children sleep issues

 

And my little Monkey is learning that success is sweet….ways to get kids to sleep in own bed

…it’s been sweet for Mommy, too, getting to sleep all those nights uninterrupted!

 

So, come on, grab a cupcake, put on your party hat, and do a little victory dance with me!

 

Have a great weekend, everyone!

      Thank you!
      Big sister and him both love the Pajanimals video, by the way.

    Thanks! 🙂 He actually has been sleep walking the past 2 nights. So we’ll see how the rest of the week goes.

      Yes, it was a great run while we had it…. I think I jinxed us when I wrote that post. He’s been sleep walking actually the past couple nights.
