Just put Coop to bed. Since I removed the rocker from his bedroom earlier today per his request… I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle bedtime minus a rocker.
I decided I’d try reading to him. Up to this point he hasn’t been one to sit at bedtime and listen to a story. I tried and we read two short stories and then sang Jesus Loves Me using a book he received from his GodMother at his baptism. I then lay with him and sang a few more songs. When I saw his eyes getting heavy I told him I was going to go to bed…he rearranged himself and I covered him back up, kissed him goodnight, told him I love him and left. I haven’t heard a peep!
Here’s hoping he sleeps well!

Today’s Coop Nap Update:
Nap successful after he yelled and screamed and asked that the rocker go OUT.
When I went to get him up he saw the rocker on the landing and pointed back into the bedroom.
At this point I am completely confused about the rocker and where he wants it, if he likes it or hate it in his room and just pretty much about the whole situation.
Tonight should be interesting.

Cooper had his 2 Year Checkup this morning. He weighs 28lbs 10.6ozs. and is 2′ 10.5″ in height. He is healthy and happy. The doctor put in a perscription for hydrocortisone as Coop has a really bad dry spot in the back of his right knee. Its been there for a couple weeks and comes and goes. The dry skin lotion we’ve been using on him hasn’t been working. Hopefully this solves the problem..if not I need to take him back for blood work as it could then be something else although he doesn’t show signs of it being anything else.

A successful night putting Coop to bed. Coaching him and talking to him about going to bed, about not screaming and yelling and how he’s a big boy sleeping in his bed seems to really help him.
He is sleeping on the floor but I know in time he’ll move up to his bed…kids sometimes are reluctant of the bed without the one side being there.
I am now hoping for a good night’s sleep!

Coop went down for his nap without any screaming! He’s either really exhausted our were getting somewhere with his new bedroom setup!
