Better sleeping

I'm amazed at how quickly Benjamin took to his new bed. For a minute, it seemed like we sprung it on him out of the blue. However, he was starting to climb the rails of his crib and immediately went to a toddler bed when we saw it in the store, so we knew it really was time. He always does better at bed time than nap time, but overall, he's been doing surprisingly well. He will usually get up once after we put him to bed and go to the door. He'll open it up and peek out. When he doesn't see anyone there, he'll get in bed and go to sleep after talking to his new Elmo doll and playing his aquarium. He does the same thing when he wakes up, and will wait until someone goes up to get him. There's usually a little more walking around his room for nap time, but for the most part, he's asleep with in a half hour.

The downside is that when I don't have to work, and we can actually sleep in, he's up really early (6:30ish today). I'm so paranoid that he's going to get sick of waiting in his room and start wondering around on his own, that I've become an even lighter sleeper. Maybe this is just Gods way of getting me ready for those 2am feedings again. I was getting a little too used to a full nights sleep!
