Better

Things are better now... We have come up with a solution that works... although neither of us particularly LOVE it, we are all able to get sleep... We finally had to turn Jayce's door knob around backwards and lock the door for him to stay in the room. We also had to move his mattress to the floor and make a palette there, because he continued to jump even when we converted his bed to a toddler bed. So, our next bed will be a LOW TO THE GROUND twin bed... and that should be an easy transition from what we're using now. He still cries when we put him down and the first day ran to the door trying to pull it open 100 times (or so it seemed, it was horrible... he was balling, I was balling...) But now, he MIGHT try once and then goes right back to his bed, and sometimes not at all... And after a few minutes he is asleep...And, I'm back to getting my nap time and morning time, which I so desperately missed those 3 days... SO, that has worked for us for now... I'm hoping it will continue and get better with practice...
Gabe is pulling a 6 hr. stretch at night, last night 11:45-5:45... which is great for me!

Here are some funny Jayce comments from the last week...
We are in Target Friday (all 3 of us, and it went SO WELL... not normal!) Anyhow, Jayce is very into asking who people are, especially when they are within 6 inches of us, and they can here his every comment... he said, mommy who is that big man? And I look over and there is a very big tall man standing beside us... I tried to keep looking at the bread and try to distract him, and he said, mommy, that's a big man there? I said he's a nice man Jayce, and he said I like that big nice man... the man just went about his business... I tried to exit the bread aisle asap!

Then Jayce took him to get his oil changed yesterday, and he said Jayce asked Who's that? Pointing to a man beside them... Jay said that's a nice man. Jayce continued to question, Who's that??? Jay said, I don't know, why don't you ask him, he doesn't bite... Jayce said, that nice man gonna eat Jayce? Jay said the nice man got a kick out of that!

Oh, and then one sweet thing is that he's very into telling us when he leaves to ... "have fun mommy," or "be careful mommy"... well, at the gym last week, they said he told the maintenance man as we was leaving... "be safe." So cute!

You just never know what he's going to pop out!
here are some pics from yesterday, I had a photo session with Gabe while Jayce and Jay were working in the yard... no falls this time!
