Since moving from the crib to the toddler bed, we were just waiting for Evan to get out of bed on his own and visit us. It hadn't happened until this weekend. That must be a world record somehow. He used to sit up in bed, call out, "Momma, where are you?" and wait for us to check on him. Now, he doesn't even call out. He just jumps out of bed, opens his door and goes looking for us. We've started locking the gate at the top of the stairs to prevent any mishaps.
I am guessing this has some correlation with Lil' Babe coming, but Evan has been having a really hard time falling asleep at night. He just can't settle down and has been asking me to stay with him. He basically wants me to watch him fall asleep. No thanks. So he pulls out all of his tricks - potty, restart his birdies, etc. I keep trying to get him to do it all on his own, but he's just set in his ways. Last night, we tucked him in at 8:30 - his usual bedtime. He kept coming out of his room until 10:15. By that time, we were going to bed ourselves! Then, in the morning, he wakes up and wants to crawl into bed with me. We're going to have to break him of this soon. Although I love the snuggles, it's tiring to keep up the night time fight.
