Saturday can be described as Noby’s Day! It all started with Brenda and I taking him, and just him, to the Boston Children’s Museum. Ichiro had some work he needed to get done so he offered to keep Koji with him. It was cute when we left the house, Noby was standing on the front porch and said, “Koji?” Like I had forgot him! LOL He was so excited when we realized that he had both Auntie and me to himself. The museum was fun, we allowed Noby to just go where ever he wanted. That meant Brenda and I were just running after him, but he was having such a good time we didn’t mind. At one point his cheeks were soo red it looked like he had make up on! lol
Once we got home, I asked Noby where he wanted to sleep that night. It was time and we just had to get it done. I knew if he said the planet room that we would bust our butts to have it done by that night. Of course Noby said he wanted to sleep in the planet room so Ichiro and I started working. We took the bed off the frame, the AC out of the window, constructed the bed rails, hung the video monitor, plus little things like new sheets, safety caps for the plugs and a general clean out of all the remaining tools that were still in there. The room looked great and Noby was VERY excited to head to bed that night.
Our bedtime routine was done the same way, except for the fact that I actually got to lay in bed to read Danny and the Dinosaur. Noby was great, he kept hugging his stuffed animals and kissing them. I wanted to keep the routine the same, as much as possible. I thought it would make the transition easier. So after the story, I got up, gave him a kiss and said goodnight. Noby was fine with it, he said goodnight and see you in the morning. I grabbed the monitor and headed downstairs. We watched for a little while and he didn’t move however we could hear him say “I can’t do this.” Turns out that the room was MUCH darker then his old room, even with his turtle nightlight. So Ichiro went in, installed a brighter nightlight, laid down for a while with him, reread Danny and the Dinosaur and then tried again to leave. This time it was a success. Noby fell asleep in his bed with no problem. He slept all night, even through a massive thunder and lightning storm we had!
I’m so proud of him. Noby is growing so fast and is such an awesome little guy!
