One Night Down...

Well, thank you to those of you who gave me ideas for Hudson and sleeping either on here, facebook, or by email. Yesterday we went to Wal-mart and got stickers and prizes. We came home and made a chart. I explained to him that he would get a prize when he got stickers for staying in his bed all night. I'm giving him a prize every night he does it for the first few nights, and then we're going to build up to 5 nights in a row for a slightly bigger prize. Finally 10 nights in a row for the coveted disk gun he picked out. :-) So, I told him even if he woke up that he had to stay in his bed until it was light outside. He woke up one time last night, but stayed in bed and called my name. I went in there with him and layed down for a few minutes. He went right back to sleep, and I moved back to my bed. He woke up this morning at 9:15 in HIS bed!!!! We put a sticker on his chart, and now he's the proud owner of 3 rubber frogs (his prize for night #1). Baby steps...but I'm so proud of him!
