Connor sleeps in his new room!

We finished getting Connor’s new room together and last night was the big night.

Here is how it went…

We read a book to Connor and put him to bed.  He says, “Don’t put up the gate.”

Daddy bites and says, “Ok, will you be a big boy and stay in your bed?”

Connor responds, “Yes.”

So, Mommy and I head down to our room and here come the pitter-patter of little feet.

Connor says, “I want a kiss.”

So, we kiss him in the middle of the hallway and send him back to bed.  I hear him walking back to his bed and he gets almost all the way there and I hear him talking to himself and he says, “I want ‘nother kiss.”  Pitter-patter of feet and then we give him a kiss.

We done this before and lost the battle, so I pulled the gate out and put it up in his door frame.  He was not at all happy, so then I climbed over and laid in his bed with him.  I put my arm around him and held him tight.  He then put his arm around me to hold me tight and to make sure I wasn’t going anywhere.  After about 10 minutes, he was nearly asleep.  I started to make my exit by taking his arm off of me…

He turns to me and says (in the cutest and most innocent questioning voice you can imagine), “Where you going?”

Daddy responds, “No where.”

Two minutes later, I try the exit again, this time I slowly slide off the bed.  Again, “Where you going?”

“No where.”

After laying on the floor for about 2 or 3 more minutes I finally leave.  Again, “Where you going?”

“To bed.”

Silence.

He did wake around 2:30am and I settled him down in about a couple of minutes.  Mommy said he slept in his bed until 6:40am today and surprisingly was asking for Daddy when he woke up this morning (he usually asks for Mommy on the weekends).

He now calls his room, “Connor’s room” and calls Jacob’s room (his old room), “Baby Jacob’s room”.

Can it be this easy????

I love you, Connor!

P.S. — Please don’t grow any older!!!!!
