Owen’s Leukemia – Day 76

Well, we are on a mission to get Owen out of our bed.  As much as we love him, he needs to sleep in his own bed.  We had some sleep issues ever since Logan was born, but it wasn’t until after we came home from the hospital when he was diagnosed that it has been a big problem.  He will not stay in his bed at all, and we have been trying EVERYTHING.  So, this is the latest… we wanted to get bunk beds so that when Logan gets older, they can be in there together.  Owen is so excited about this, so, we put them up… and moved Logan’s crib into Owen’s room until he is bigger.

They seem to really like them, but we have yet to be successful to get Owen to sleep in there.  If anyone has any great ideas that they think might help in getting him to sleep by himself, by all means please share.  I have had about enough of waking up to feet in my face:)

What if you slept in the bottom bunk bed a few nights? It might be enough to break the cycle. Plus the only feet in your face will dangle from above. :) PS I haven’t forgotten your paint.

Try a sticker chart…Owen loved getting stickers for good behaviors and achievements while he was here.

Fill it up each day he sleeps on his own and place a picture of a toy or whatever he would like to get at the end so he can see how close he is to getting his prize.

:-) we actually made one last night, so we’ll see if it works! It worked really good for potty training and medicine, so hopefully it goes as well.

Thanks Jessica!

Oh he’s so darling!! He looks so happy with his new bed. Glad to see that he’s improving. We are all thinking of him!
