We bought a crib rail for Brenton so that he could get in and out of bed in the morning and have some "freedom". He LOVES to play in his crib, and even more so now because he can get out when he wants. Last night was his first night and I think he wandered around a couple times in his room at first, but went back into bed and went right to sleep. I'm trying to give him a little more independence since he seems to struggle a lot when it comes to not getting his way with Dad or me and his toys. He still flips out at them if they don't do EXACTLY what he wants and I have no idea what it is. Plus, the whole feeding thing.. only eating when he FEELS like letting me feed him when I KNOW he is hungry. I like that I can easily lay my head next to him and rub his head before he goes to bed and hum or talk to him. I'm just waiting to see how he does for nap time. We might make our unused room into his play room. Actually, I'm pretty positive we will.
We also bought him 4 new books and there is a signing book I'm looking at getting him as well. We got one that tells about how much God loves him everyday (a page a day) and it comes with 2 CD's with music to sing about it. Devin picked it out and really likes it. Bought some books to teach him more about colors, numbers, and a Baby Einstein one called "First Words". I'm really excited to see if he'll let me read these to him instead of the other books we have. More colors and BIG pictures so it might grab his attention.
