O.S.I.O.B (Operation Sleep in Own Bed)

Maisy gets a star for each night she wakes up in her own bed. When she
5 she can pick a "present". She says she wants a trumpet...
No idea.

Monday started O.S.I.O.B... I think most of you know that Maisy does not sleep in her own bed. She usually sleeps on the couch or in my bed. All my fault, I just never fought it and she's my last baby. But I knew I needed to get her into her own bed. My mom and I did over Maisy's room in August, and she has never slept in there. So I decided spring break was the perfect time to "get it done". That way Miles could sleep in my bed so he wouldn't have to listen to Maisy scream and cry as she fights me to sleep in her bed. I was totally prepared for yelling, crying, screaming and many, many visits to me in the living room or bedroom. It hasn't been that way at all. Here are the Facebook updates I've written:
Monday
Operation Sleep in Your Own Bed is in full swing. So far since 8:30, she's been out 3 times. It's going to be a long night.

Tuesday
So the OSIOB update. Maisy fell asleep in her own bed at 9:30. She woke up 12:30 and came out to couch, David put her back in bed, but she wanted mom. I laid with her until she fell asleep (3mins.) She woke again at 2:00 I did the same thing. Then at 4:30 she came to our room, I was soooo sleepy I didn't even remember I was suppose to put her back to bed.

She is is bed all by herself, not sure if she's asleep, but at least she's in HER bed!

Not to jinx myself, but she's still in HER bed, asleep since 9:45. Fingers crossed.

Wednesday
After 3 books and two visits out to the living room, Maisy slept in her OWN bed from 10PM to 7:40AM. She came in to my room this AM and said "I did it mom, I slept in my own bed!, I get a star on my paper right?" Let's hope this continues.


Maisy has been asleep since 9:15. In her own bed with pretty much no help from me or david. Yahoo... I am so proud of her.

Thursday
Update OSIOB... Maisy fell asleep in her bed lastnight at 9:15 without any help from David or me. The at 1:00AM she came into our room. I put her back in her bed, rubbed her legs for a minute. Then she came in our room again at 5:00AM. I put her back in her bed, no leg rubbing. She slept in until 8:00AM. I am still considering this a success. She didn't fight me when I put her back and I didn't give in. SO we are still working on it.

OSIOB Update: Read 2 books to Maisy at 8:35. When I was going to leave she said I want you to rub my legs. I said sure but I am not going to lay with you, I'll sit next to you. She said Yeah, I don't think I want you to rub my legs. Never heard from her again. Checked on her 15mins. ago, still asleep. We'll see how many trips to my room tonight.

So as you can see, It has gone pretty smooth. I never expected it to go like this, but I am very happy it has.
