Let the sleepless nights begin!

I think our easy streak with this whole toddler bed thing might be coming to an end. Collin has now been in his toddler bed for about 2 weeks with no problems at all. Last night, after we got home from church around 8, he was wide awake. Tired at church, slept on the way home, but wide awake at bedtime. Anyway, it took about an hour and a half to finally get him to sleep. Then, he wakes up at around 1am and decides it is time to play. He was wide awake for about 3 hours. We played the "put him back in bed game" over and over. We rocked him. We even let him lay in our bed. All he wanted to do was talk and move around. If we left him in his room, he would come lay at his door and cry. (We keep his bedroom door closed with the monitor on and he has not figured out how to open it yet) Finally around 4am Garner was so frustrated with him that he spanked him for getting out of bed again and then we didn't seem to have any trouble after that. We are tired though! I guess we will just have to show him in a more stern way next time that we mean business from the very beginning. It's kind of hard to do with him being this young, but I think he understands things a lot more than we give a 19 month old credit for.
