This is where he started out!I have been dreading June 1st for a while now. Rob gave Carter until the 1st to sleep with us and on the 1st he had to start sleeping in his own bed. The first night he didn't do too hot. He went to sleep pretty easy but was up by 1:30 wanting to go to bed with Mommy. (I kindly allowed him!) The next night he went to sleep easy again. I woke up around 3:00 a.m. and decided to go check on him (like I always do with Chloe). I get to his room and he is not in his bed. Now this is when I start to panic. I looked in his room to see if maybe he fell off the bed, etc. He was NO WHERE in the room. I quickly run into Chloe's room to check on her and to see if he is in there. I didn't see him at first and really started to freak out. I looked to the end of her bed and there he was. He was all curled up & cold laying at the foot of his Sissy's bed. I calmed down a little and decided to just leave him there. I covered him up & went back to bed. The next morning I go in to check on them. Chloe wakes up first and realizes that her brother is in her bed. SHE FREAKED OUT! So much for being the loving sister....she wanted to know WHY he was in her bed. When I explained that he was probably scared she calmed down a little bit. The next night they were both begging to sleep together. If she hadn't been sick I probably would have let them. Last night he did even better, he fell asleep without anyone in there and he slept there ALL NIGHT LONG! He was so proud of himself this morning. He told everyone how he was a big boy now! It makes me happy that he is doing so well but I am also sad that my baby isn't there with me at night anymore. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the snuggling my kids give and I miss that so much. It also makes me realize how my kids are no longer babies. Makes me realize even more how much I love the baby stage. I'm happy my kids are growing and healthy and happy but boy do I miss having a little baby/toddler. Enjoy every minute with your kiddos b/c they grow WAY too fast! :)
This is where he ended up!

Awww! I know you must be sad! We decided early that Brady was not allowed to sleep in our bed. I have to admit it's been tough...especially when Buck was deployed. Brady's a little cuddle bug, so many, many nights I have been tempted to go grab him. But, now I'm really glad that I didn't start that habit...now I don't have to worry about the day he's too big to sleep with Mommy any more!
