Ian's off from his nap diaper and he's sleeping on his own bed =) =) =)

Ian's been toilet trained for a yr and mama's been procrastinating to get him off his nap diaper coz he can nap for 2-3 hrs and this long nap means alot of precious time for mama to do her stuff like cooking, reading the papers and even BSF homework but well the day diaper has finally ran out (ya think we overstocked his diapers hahaa) and guess he's ready to go diaper-less for his nap (he's always been off his diapers during trips coz usually he doesn't nap so long on the go) and finally mama decided it was THE day and true enough, the boy woke up after 1 hr nap and told mama he had enough zzz and then he was up and running....for that, we are taking naps in the living room with his towel and pillow (so as not to wet the bed) and he's been happy sleeping in the living room and on wkends he will hit the floor with his daddy =) so for now, we dun need to get any more diapers hahaaa coz we got a 'sponsor' for his nite diapers (ie ah gong who always kindly supply us with bags of diapers) and guess its abt time....to slowly integrate Ian to taking short nap and sleeping early at nite and then preparing him to go sch in the am session next yr!

It almost took place the same day as the day Ian took short nap and that nite he was happy to sleep on his sheep bed with the thomas the train bedsheet.....since Ian's been 1+ he's been co-sleeping with us as he was still BF-ing that time and he conveniently crawled up and snuggled with us...mama was getting lazy in bringing him down each time he got up the bed so it just became a habit.....last yr we tried getting the sheep bed from Ikea so as to encourage him to sleep just beside mama on his own bed....he 'abandoned' the bed for some gd mths and rather snuggle with us while we got all his arm and leg jabs as he was growing bigger and he was taking more space than ever.

Just last wk, ah mu was asking if he was sleeping on his sheep bed and wonder what got into him and he started saying Thomas the train and ah mu just asked if he wanna have thomas the train's bedsheet (as she has a spare one previously used by Seth) and that boy (who's not quite a thomas fan) said Yes and then soon we had the bedsheet and this wk mama changed it while he stayed over po2's pl and when he was back home, he was most pleased with the thomas bedsheet but that nite he slept a while and he crawled back.....the subsequent day after he had a short nap, wondering issit coz he din have enough sleep in the day, he knocked out on his own bed and slept thru the nite....we were all pleased with the easy transition to get him to sleep on his own and we had a little celebration for the boy...it was great achievement considering he's always been so used to having his mama and daddy beside him....anw it was a idea we got coz when we visited the Highlands recently, the room came with 2 queen sized beds and Ian was keen to have his own bed and he was sleeping on his own so we toyed with the idea when we came back and also when he's at po2's place he's always sleeping alone on the mattress....so we gathered it was time and just din expect it to be so SMOOTH =) =) cheers for our 3-yr old boy!
