Big Boy Andy

So, Dr. Savage said we could try a big boy bed out on Andy anytime we wanted. We went home, put a mattress on the floor, removed anything he could get into, flipped the dresser around (it isn't anchored yet) and put a gate in the doorway. Here is what happened...
Night 1: I went in to check on him several times to make sure he was okay, found him on the floor several times. I moved him to the bed each time.
Night 2: I checked on him several times again (that floor can't be comfy!) miraculously, he was usually on the bed. He looked like he was kneeling (feet on floor, head on mattress) at one point !
Night 3: Andy cried and cried! I went in to snuggle him for a bit and got up when I thought he was asleep and he cried some more. He finally stopped at about 12:30 and went to sleep.
Night 4: We snuggled (and I let him crawl around on me) for about 20 minutes. I left the room when he was still awake and he just stayed in bed and went to sleep.
Night 5: We snuggled a little and then I left the room after about 5 minutes. He cried for 2 minutes, came to the gate to try to get out, and finally, got in bed and went to sleep.

I am really surprised that he is doing so well with this. He still takes naps in his crib for now, but maybe in the next few weeks we'll start transitioning him. What a great baby!

p.s. my computer is on the fritz, as soon as I get things worked out I'll post more pictures.
