Jon-Jon and sleeping update

Jon was very cranky last night, but I put him in bed and warned him about the time out chair. Eric brought up one of the stools for emphasis. I left the room to check on the others kids and I came back and he was lying off the edge of the bed. I warned him again, and he pulled his legs up and went to sleep.

OK, so I thought it might have been because he was so tired. This afternoon, I put him down for a nap a little early. I warned him about the time out chair and left the room to read my scriptures. I sat on the stairs in the hallway to read just in case. In the time it took to read two chapters of the Book of Mormon, he was asleep, with no attempts to get out of bed.

HURRAY! This is so much better than having to sit there beside him, repeatedly putting him back in bed.

Wow, it seems like you have got it down. Maybe you should become the next supper nanny!

Heidi,
in my next post I talk about our walk to Ream's today. I ran into Alli outside of the school decorating the trees with red ribbons. She's such a cute girl.
