Ian’s first night in the big boy bed lasted sixty seconds before he walked out of his room.  After he went back, he was in there for 13 actual seconds (I timed him) before the door opened again.  I really don’t think he actually got back into bed at all.  I think he just went in there and came back out.  Mommy informed him that no, nobody actually needs to go potty more than once a minute and sent him back to bed.  An hour and a half later it was apparent that he was actually asleep.

An inspection the next morning revealed half the contents of his bookcase in the bed or on the floor nearby.  I can live with that.  He is still super excited about his big boy bed, but tonight there was some fussing about not wanting to go to bed.  I told him to go get a book but not to let Mommy know he was out of bed.  He said, “Okay, Mommy!”

Door’s still shut.  I win.
