On Tuesday he had his first nap in his new bed. About an hour after putting him down, I hear his door knob start to turn. The door is hard to open, so he wasn't able to pull it open, but he was certainly trying. Then he started knocking on the door. So I answered it. I went in and told him that he needed to stay in his bed until nap time was over. He went right back up into his bed. At 2:00 I went in to wake him up and he was already awake, lying on his back with his feet on the wall.
No nap time wakings since then!
We dismantled his crib and for now we'll be keeping the crib mattress in his room because it is so fun to jump on! The crib itself will be going in the garbage. We let Nico climb up the side of it and it broke. But, at least we were having fun when it happened. We've been having fun with all parts of the dismantled crib.
Today was a notable day in itself, because Nico had a case of Nursemaid's Elbow (from wikipedia: Nursemaid's elbow, babysitter's elbow, or pulled elbow is a dislocation of the elbow joint caused by a sudden pull on the extended pronated arm, such as by an adult tugging on an uncooperative child or by swinging the child by the arms during play.) We were walking into WinCo, and when Nico realized that he was going to have to get into a cart, he pulled on my hand, twisted himself and sat down on the floor. I pulled him up by his hand, and that's when it happened. He all of a sudden couldn't use his arm any more and he started crying. I thought we were going to need to take him to the emergency room, but then I remembered that we have a chiropractor. I called him up and he let us come right in. When we got to his office, I took Nico's coat off and he walked around the office, whimpering, he could use his right arm just fine but couldn't lift his left arm. It was so sad to see it! The doc fixed him right up. He was afraid to use his arm for a while after that, but after he realized that it didn't hurt anymore, he was fine just fine.
