There have been a few nights that were extra long. He will wake up and be awake crying and screaming for two or three hours. Troy and I both threatened him.
Nothing worked, until...Last week Troy told Eli we would get him a goldfish if he would sleep good for one week. He did really well. He would go to sleep and sleep all night. He did this for 5 days. Until last night, he woke up again and wouldn't go back to sleep. Again, Troy and I had to threaten him.
So, Eli won't get a goldfish. At least not this week. We will be starting another week tonight. Hopefully we can make it so Eli can get a goldfish and we can get at least 7 nights of good sleep.
Here is Eli, last year, sleeping in our bed on one of those terrible nights. He's a crazy sleeper.
This is where he sleeps now. On our hardwood floor. Hopefully, he is learning to appreciate the comfort of his own bed.

What a silly kid. Good for you for standing your ground. He'll learn soon enough to sleep in his own bed to get that goldfish. I can't imagine that hardwood floor is very comfy.
Look how cute he is when he's asleep. And look at his little watch on his wrist! I love that kid! All I can say is: This too will pass (my favorite saying) but usually not soon enought
Oh, no goldfish...so sad! I can't believe he will sleep on the hardwood floor!
oh but he is so dang cute! I totally feel for you, remember when McKinley was going through that? Barney every morning at 4:00am. yuck!
