BiG BOY BED

....or so we call it. Wesley-grant got a toddler bed last night and today he is learning to sleep in it. I say, "learning", because that is exactly what he is doing. First try was this morning for a little rest time with his books.....and down he came....so i had to train him to stay in the bed. Eventually he did. And then there was this afternoon...nap 2....and well, we didn't learn the lesson from the first nap, so down he came just like it was a game.....It only took 15 times instead of 20 times until he gave up his will and stayed on the bed.

We have been studying Hebrews in bible study and just went through chapter 12 about discipline...which actually means training, not punishment. Heb. 12:5-6 says: "......My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves....."

I think wesley-grant and I both are learning about that today....and eventually with loving discipline, he will be a big boy and learn to sleep in his big boy bed....one day down.....
