Confession

I have a terrible confession to make. I think if I start talking about my "problem" things will start to change. I have to make a change. Alright, here goes: Jackson has been sleeping in the bed with us since Lily was born. AHHHHH! There, I said it. Yes, it's so very true too. I always promised myself that I would not co-sleep with my kids. I want Jack to be an independent boy. I don't think sleeping in our bed will hinder this all too much, but I do believe it will help. It has to stop.
Okay, here is the other part of the confession, yes it is twofold: We have been given Jack milk in the middle of the night. EEEK. Whenever he asks for it, we go and get it. Our excuse has been because we don't want to wake Lily. Well, if he weren't in our bed, then he probably wouldn't wake her up! We are taking steps to slowly get him back to where he needs to be! Hopefully, when we move into our new house in February, he will be sleeping in his "big boy bed." (The house is the next post!)
We are cutting out the milk thing now. He can have a sippee cup with diluted milk right before bed and then again in the morning. I am hoping this will only take this week. Then, the following week, he will return to his crib.
It is totally my fault too. I let him fall asleep with me, I go get him "mulk" when he wants it, and I don't force him to sleep in his room. It's bad. Don't get me wrong, I looovvvveeee sleeping with my little booger, but it's time to take my bed back. It's WAY overdue.
See the 'king' of the bed with his sippee cup right next to him?? ahhh
