so in my last post i said that i wouldn't care if emma taylor played in her room as long as she would eventually go down. well she learned that she could in fact get out of her bed, and i do care. it makes it a whole lot harder to get her to nap. however, with every day she seems to understand more that she has to stay in her bed. that is all...
We had to give Cai spankings for getting off his bed. That and the Super Nanny method of giving a warning and just always taking them back to bed. Once they realize they can get down, in my opinion, it is better for them to STAY in bed and realize there are bad consequences from getting down. He still gets down AFTER he wakes up, but there are times I will put him back in bed and say it is still rest time. He usually cries at this, but won't get back down because he knows what will happen! :) The first several weeks are hard, but then it's NO big thing! :)
