Big Boy Bed

Over the weekend Aaron and I finished putting Eli's new room together. Saturday we were able to get him to sleep in his new bed successfully for his nap. Then we had him sleep in there that night. He did pretty well. He just woke up at 5:30A, crying in his bed, so I just went in there to lay down with him and he laid down for a little while, but he would not go back to sleep. We then laid down in our bed and he did fall asleep for a little while. I was so tired, not only from waking up early, but Aaron and I had done a lot of house work the day before, so he let me sleep in for a little while. We went to the hospital to visit Katie and Jake and the new addition. They were all doing well. Nicholas was loving his little brother.
Eli fell asleep pretty quickly for his nap, I ran some errands while Aaron stayed home. Aaron made his famous Eggplant Parmesan for dinner.
My good friend, Vinnie, was driving through town, and she arrived right before Eli was going to bed. Vin and I were able to catch up and visit, she ended up leaving around 11pm. We had a nice visit!
Eli slept through the night Sunday, but this morning he woke up at 5:30A again. We're just having a hard time keeping him in his bed when we're trying to get him to go to sleep.
His love of Thomas the Train is turning into an obsession. He is continually wanting to see the "Choo Choo" and he absolutely loves "Percy", but the way he says "Percy" can sound dirty...LOL!I bought him a Thomas calendar and book and he absolutely is mesmerized by them both. It's cute to see him so excited about something though.
This baby is moving around quite a bit, with not a lot of room to move! Today I had an elbow or a knee right on the top of my belly. I had to keep pushing it back in! Pretty weird. Well, that's all for now. Need to get some sleep! I am reading a good book right now, borrowed from Rhonda, "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory. I saw the preview for the movie coming out in the spring. Looks really good!
