sleep update

its night three.
overall i would say things have been moving towards success. we've had lots of wake ups, but i think that is bound to happen with this kind of change.
i failed to mention perhaps the biggest change. zoom is finally out of a "bed with bars". the girl has the crib - no biggie for her, she sleeps in a variety of places, but zoom - he's slept there since he was six months. while he talks about wanting a big boy bed, i think he likes his cosy spot.
when bedtime comes he says he doesn't want to sleep there. the first night he woke up twice, wanting to sleep in his crib. then he was up at 4am, ready for the day. we let him come in our bed and for a while i thought the entire family would be up for the day. thankfully, he fell back to sleep around 6am for another hour. it was a little brutal, especially since the girl was with us too. she woke up when hubby got up for work, around 5am, so i brought her to bed so we could all attempt to sleep a bit more.
last night zoom woke up again, but this time just crying in his sleep. both times he was out of the covers, so maybe he was just cold. little precious. he did sleep, in his bed, until almost 8 this morning, so YES!
the girl ended up in our bed again, this is just a difficult week for hubby to take all the nighttime wakings.
i have to be alert for the day as well, but i can handle less sleep better than he can. i am feeling a little more rested. getting a good chunk of undisturbed sleep makes a big difference.
