Sleeping Habits Update


So, tonight as Jayden kept getting out of bed and bringing Horsey with him to sit by his door and sing Twinkle Twinkle, I decided I’d just give him another bed. I grabbed a small down comforter that we have and went into his room and made a little nest out of it on the floor. I told Jayden that he could lay on that if he wanted to. I put the comforter right next to the door, but far enough away that I could get the door open later and put him back in bed. Royal and I went out on the porch and listened to him sing Twinkle Twinkle and Old MacDonald for awhile until he kept saying ‘i need mom, i need mom’. So, I went back into his room and he told me he needed a blankie. I was a little surprised and said, ‘you want to sleep there all night?’ He said, ‘yea, blankie’. So, I grabbed a spare blanket, he laid down on the down comforter with Horsey and I put the blanket over him. He said, ‘Night night mom’. I went back out on the porch with Royal and we didn’t hardly hear another peep from him. When Royal and I came back in the house for the night, I went back into his room to put him in his bed. But, I just couldn’t do it. He looked so comfy. So, I just left him there. I haven’t decided exactly how I feel about this. What are the consequences? What is he going to get set on doing now? Is he going to want to sleep on the floor by the door every night? Do I care? I guess I just came to the conclusion, I don’t really care where he’s sleeping, as long as he’s sleeping and he’s in his own room. We left his door open a crack, so we’ll see if he wakes up in the middle of the night and freaks out or, if he just loves his new bed and sleeps in.

    Beds are highly over rated! Let the little guy sleep on the floor with horsey and blankie. It makes for better memories anyway and he’s so stinking cute!…just sayin’

    He does look pretty cute there just laying on the floor with his horsey and blankie.

    Brendan did the exact same thing. He loved it, and he would sleep on the floor all night. Eventually he slept in his bed and I hardly remember him sleeping on the floor. The phase must not have lasted too long. Maybe Jayden will be excited to sleep in his new “big boy” bed!

    I say let him sleep on the floor if he wants to. What does it matter. He is safe and happy. What wonderful memories you are making. Sitting on your porch, watching the sunset together and listening to him sing Twinkle Twinkle. Life can get no better than that.
