Sleep Deprivation Experiment 1258: The Big Boy Bed

Bub is awake at 10pm so I decide to offer that instead of sitting in the rocking chair all night that he might sleep in his Big Boy Bed (BBB).  BBB is really just the twin mattress on the floor because we have all been too sick to bring up the frame.  I'm hoping the thrill is just enough incentive for him to stay in bed and not so exciting that it keeps him awake.

Current status of experiment: FAIL.  Bub is singing to Kitty and I just heard little footprints hit the hardwood.  That "pitter-patter of little feet" everyone talks about is one of the scariest sounds to a sleepy parent.

UPDATE:

10:05

Bub just scampered into my room to tell me "It's so MUCH FUN to be AWAKE!"
