Well, we've had a rough week here so far. Started last Friday... Laura was up in the night about 5 times within an hour and wouldn't stay in her bed. I was exhausted - brought her in with us at about 3am.
Saturday we were up to Megan's house and Laura went all day without a nap. Amazingly, she slept through the night that night! :)
Sunday night: near repeat of Friday
Monday night: ditto.
Tuesday night and Wednesday nights: she slept through the night.
Thursday night: She refused to stay in her bed past 11pm... so she slept with us. Richie and I didn't get any sleep.
Friday night: She went to bed at 8:40. At 8:55, she came out of her room. I put her back. She came out crying. I put her back. She came out screaming. I put her back. She came out yelling. I put her back... get the idea? Repeat 21 times. She was asleep at 9:25pm and slept through until 6:10am (our weekday wakeup time). I let her come in with us to snuggle until 7:40 this morning.
Whoops... taking a break from typing - she's out of bed... (It's 9:27)
I figured I couldn't "do" the repeated putting her back to bed thing on a work night - hence why we waited until Friday. We just didnt' think she'd start it so soon in the night!
We'll see how tonight goes, but for now she's quiet (It's 9:29)

We haven't moved Ethan out of the crib yet but we moved Grace into the toddler bed before she turned 2 and it was an interesting transition. We wound up putting the childproof doorknob covers on the inside of her room which worked for awhile. Until we switched to underwear at night and had to take the childproofing off the door so she could go potty if she needed to. That opened up a whole new can of worms! I can totally relate to the jack in the box thing, though it's much more annoying with a 4 year old that knows better.
