This is how you get your wakeful spawn to sleep:

Thats right. He is wearing one sock, and both crocs. No, this picture wasn't taken last night. It was taken this morning.


Lucas wouldn't fall asleep. Would.not.fall.asleep.

If you didn't know, we transitioned him to the big boy bed about two weeks ago. It has been going well, haven't had to put him back in bed or anything really. Some extra hugs, but nothing too difficult.

Until last night.

He discovered that he can get in and out of his big boy bed. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. Mommmeeeeeeeee. In. Out. In. Out.

You get the picture.

I heard him sitting by his gate, crying. I went up stairs to check out the situation and he was saying " Sock. Sock. Sock." He wanted to wear ONE sock. Not two, but one. Okay, whatever. Mommeeeeee is tired so you can wear your one sock.

After the one sock goes on, he brings me his crocs. "Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. Mommeeeeee".

me: "you want to wear your shoes?"

L: nods head. "uh-huh"


I put his green and yellow crocs on, he crawls happily in bed, and didn't hear a peep from him for the rest of the night.


Remind me to wash the sheets tonight....
