We've had a few changes at our house recently.
Today my brother Kip and his wife Bridget (who were staying with us for the summer) left to go back to law school. We are so sad to see them go! They were such a huge help around the house, made great treats and meals, and it was just fun to play games, watch movies, go out to eat, and just have fun with them! The summer just flew by! Caleb keeps asking if "Dip and Bibbets" are at work. He just doesn't quite understand...so sad! We love you guys and we'll miss you tons!
The next change is a good change. Chris takes his LAST final tomorrow night! I can't believe he's completed his second masters! It really did go by fast. Looking back. Caleb and I are so excited to have him around in the evenings again!!!!!!!!! Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our other change is a new trick that Caleb has. Today I had put Caleb down for a nap and decided to go read a book. I fell asleep and the next thing I knew someone was tapping me on the back. Scared me to death!!! So Caleb has decided to climb out of his crib again. A long time ago he tried and fell out and hurt himself and much to my delight, he hadn't tried again. I knew once he tried again it was over because he is an excellent climber. So today I rocked him for just a minute and he fell right asleep and took a nap. As soon as he was done sleeping he scared me to death again by popping into the room. So tonight he has climbed out about 10 times since 8pm. I'm hoping I'm not in for a long night. Any advice for convincing a 2 1/2 year old to stay in his bed?!?!

When Taylor moved to a big girl bed, she always got out, so we would gate her in (I feel bad about shutting the door and locking them in because we'd always had the door open before). For the excellent climbers, I found 2 gates, 1 on top of the other, prevented that. Many nights she'd fall asleep right at the gate. Eventually she stopped doing it. When she'd decide to start getting out again, we'd start gating again.
Hope this helps. Good luck!!
My 2 1/2 year old is always popping out of bed. We moved him to a bed quite awhile ago... so it's finally getting better... but let me know if you discover any great secrets.
I have no bedtime advice, but congrats to Chris on completing his second masters! That is awesome. Congrats to you and Caleb for hanging in there. it can be rough to do so much of the parenting while Chris is at work, and church and school, but you guys did an excellent job! What is Chris going to do with all his free time?
