Tonight is his 3rd night in the bed. The first day we assembled it, he was too excited to take a nap and even at bedtime he was pretty wired. After a while trying to calm him down - nearly 9 pm after a napless day - I told him "Luca, lay here for a couple minutes while I unload the dishwasher. I'm only coming back to check on you if you don't cry or get up." I went in the kitchen, moved a couple things around, made a little noise and when I went back in 3 minutes later to check on him he was out cold. Probably should've tried that technique 30 minutes sooner!
He still calls for me in the morning and doesn't get out on his own. Old habits die hard? We thought we might find him standing next to our bed at sunrise, but he is sleeping until his usual time. Can't complain - I love running in his room when I hear him calling to find him lying there, looking up at me with that giant smile. Just the same as it has been since he was an infant when I would first get him in the morning. Sigh....
We highly recommend this goofy bed for anyone who can handle the excitement.
