Tastes A Little Like Chicken

Crow, that is. So maybe we bragged a little too soon about the transition to the toddler bed. After the first post in which Tyler slept all through the night following a perfectly long nap earlier that day, things have- well, let's say hit a snag. We think it started the next day when he realized he could get out of the bed if he wanted to. Thirty minutes into nap, we were sitting pretty in the living room when in waltzed Tyler. Same thing at bedtime. Then it got worst. After being put into bed, Tyler wanted one of us to sit in his room until he fell asleep. We made the mistake of humoring him for a few nights, only to come to the realization that we did not want to sit in the dark in a rocking chair until he was snoring. After suddenly weening him off our nighttime company, Tyler has gone ballistic. He won't take naps worth anything, he comes in our room at 2:30 am, 4:45 am and for good at 7 am. We are sleep deprived and edgy...and still having to sit in his room until he falls asleep. In fact, I am sitting here typing this just waiting to hear his bedroom door open. Any suggestions from my loyal blog readers on how to make a smooth transition from crib to toddler bed? (And don't take too long to reply- another baby coming in March).
