Sleepy-time | Part 1

Ever since we took the front railing off of Kaden’s crib, making it into a toddler bed, getting him to sleep in  it has been a little bit of a challenge.  But there are definitely 3 positives about his new bed …

1)  He won’t fall 4 feet to the floor when he tries to climb out.

2)  I can give him kissies easier while he sleeps.

3)  It is so much easier to photograph him now, when he actually takes a nap…

By easier I mean, that there are not crib slats in my way, AND I can pose him if I want.

Yep, pose him.  As far as I know, he doesn’t normally sleep with his hannies sweetly tucked under his cheek.  But for the sake of being able to see that adorable face, I had to work with his hands.  I bet you didn’t know you could pose a 2.5 year old much like you can a newborn! 

So, I’d say Kaden getting up multiple times at bedtime,  getting himself up at 5am and often refusing to take a nap, is an alright trade-off for the positives that come with him being in a toddler-bed.   Almost.
