The weather was gorgeous today and Max had a great time on the football field at daddy's school. He also met a new friend, and fellow baseball fan, at the playground. The boys played baseball and Max did a great job sharing and taking turns. At times Max can be shy, but he will become immediate besties with anyone who has their baseball equipment on hand.
The fresh air and activity did not tire Max out. Throughout the past couple of weeks, bedtime (including naptime) has become an all out battle. Max does not want to sleep. Ever. After unsuccessfully exhausting every technique and reward system (ie: bribery) we decided to ditch the crib all together. Max simply refuses to sleep in it. Most nights he winds up on the floor or his chair. He even pulls the changing table pad off the dresser and sleeps on that. But sleep only lasts so long in those odd spots; in addition to a two hour 'cry/scream/bang on the door' bedtime routine, Max wakes up several times throughout the night.
Max was happy to help disassemble his crib, and he joyfully christened his new bed with lots of jumping. Unfortunately, bedtime did not improve. On the bright side, it did not get worse.
I like it, but I still do not want to sleep.
The General finally surrendered- in the bed!
