About Time

Benson is becoming such a big boy. The other day I realized it had been a little while since I had heard Benson so I thought that I should go look for him. He had filled his diaper so he grabbed a new one and climbed up onto the changing table and waited for me to come change him. Of course he still didn't hold still or cooperate while I changed him.
Benson is climbing on everything. He can climb up the cupboards to play in the sink. He can climb onto the top bunk (Which is why he had a red spot on his nose in this photo.) He also figured out how to climb out of his crib.
We decide it was probably safest to move him into Reagan's room to sleep in the bunk bed. Not only because of the climbing but we want him to get used to sleeping in his new bed before the baby comes. Friday night we tried to put Benson in the bunk bed for the night. He wanted nothing to do with it. He threw a huge fit and bawled. After a couple minutes of crying Reagan came out and told us that Benson was frightened. We tried again to place him in the bunk bed but we ended up just having him sleep in his crib.
Saturday morning I tried to have Benson take his nap in the bunk bed. He did much better. I layed down next to him for about 20 minutes and sang to him. When I left his room he only cried for about 20 seconds and then went to sleep. We tried the bunk bed again for his afternoon nap. Which I was a little worried about because Reagan takes a nap at the same time. The boys had a very enjoyable nap time. They took turns singing each other songs and giggling for about an hour. Benson did eventually take his nap though. When he woke up and came out of his room he was so proud of himself. Abe was then home form class so Benson brought Abe into his room and showed him his new bed. I ended up getting a night light for their room because I think the darkness may have contributed to him being scared. He did an awesome job going to bed last night and stayed in bed all night long. The only problem is he woke up about an hour earlier than normal.
