Made it to my meeting last night, but that was about it. Came home and hit the sack early. My little guy, Alex, has been trying out a "big boy" bed. Every night for the last week or so, we've been putting him in the big bed. It's a "one time out and you're in the crib" deal so far. He has cried every night when put in his crib, but we're not going through laying in bed with him for 5 yrs. like we did the first one.

Well, last night was a break though. After several nights of getting out of bed, he finally realized that his big bed was no different than his crib and he remained in it all night. I even went to check on him when putting our 6 yr. old to bed. He still wasn't sleeping, but he stayed in bed.

Maybe it is true what they say about habits. Practice it long enough and it will become second nature. A habit that I would like to form is not snacking at night unless I really "feel" hungry. It has been a habit to grab something after the kids are in bed as a reward for finally getting them settled. I think I need to change my reward to something like, checking in on blogland, or watching the Discovery Health Channel for a 1/2 hour. I'll keep you updated.


CANDY BAR UPDATE:
After three weeks, the candy bars are gone. I have one left that we may share for supper tonight. I do admit, I finally give in last week and after my five pound loss of last week, I splurged with 2 candy bars.
