Ryley

Sunday night I got a little stressed cause the house was a mess, the boys were fighting and I was tired so I told Ryley he was going to have to sleep in his own bed by himself. Throughout the week what normally happens is I put Aiden to sleep in his bed at 8:30. Then at 9:00 I watch my General Hospital that I recorded and Ryley will lay on the couch next to me and fall asleep. Then when he has been asleep for 15 minutes I go put him in his bed. Sometimes he sleeps the whole night in his bed and sometimes he comes in my room. Sunday night after Ryley realized he was goona have to sleep in his bed he started crying. So I decided to let him go with me to put Aiden to bed and then we went to his room. I put a night light in there and got him a stuffed animal to sleep with. He cried and told me to leave the door open. Then after five minutes of Ryley crying Aiden starts crying cause Aiden copies everything Ryley does. Ryley then stopped.
Monday night I told Ryley if he would sleep in his bed the whole week we would buy him a toy on the weekend from Wal Mart. So Monday we did the same routine again and he cried for like 2 minutes maybe. Then last night we did the same thing again but there was no crying. I feel so relieved and if this was so easy why didnt I do this sooner. Well apparently this whole time I worried about Ryley not adapting but it was really me. After Aiden goes to sleep that is when me and Ryley bond. However I am so happy Ryley is going to sleep in his bed now. Now I can think about changing Aidens bed from the baby bed to a toddler bed.
