Sleep issues

The last few weeks, Rowan has been sleeping with us. Used to be that I'd put him to bed in his room, where he would sleep for a few hours, and exactly around 2-30 a.m., he'd call out for me wanting to come into our bed. Finally, I got tired of the nightly wakings and took the easy way out – started putting him to bed in our room, where he, and therefore me, would snooze peacefully until the morning.
Now we feel like he needs to be in his own bed and so begins the odyssey all over again. He's almost 3 and still rarely sleeps through the night.

I suppose it's my own fault. I should have stuck to my guns and never brought him into bed with us. Let him cry it out till he slept through the night. But the crying it out thing never sat right with me. Plus I get so tired at day's end and I just want us all to SLEEP.

ZZZZZZZZZ. Oops, sorry, I just dozed off for a bit there..

Let's face it though – which kid is going to choose sleeping all alone in the dark in his own room, with all those monsters under the bed and what not, when he can snuggle up with his Mommy and Daddy?

Tonight's a tossup. Will he sleep in his bed or ours. Depends on how tired I am by 9 pm.

Pee pee

Guess who's going pee-pee on the potty EVERY morning?! Ah, the stuff that makes parents happy. Your kid peeing in the pot. Wow.
Sarcasm aside, we're so proud of Rowan. Every morning, he goes to the bathroom, and takes his pants and diapers off and sits on his cute Elmo potty. Then he pees. He looks so proud of himself! And we make a HUGE fuss about it, like he's discovered a new law of physics or something. We called all our family so he could tell them and then Kedar takes him to Dunkin Donuts for a treat before dropping him off to daycare. Bribery is highly recommended.
Now the biggie - going poo-poo in the potty. That might be a few months away. Wish us luck!!
