His name is Ahh Ohh Eee Eee. He is Jakobe's new sleeping buddy. He has a heartbeat and also makes Monkey noises when you press his hand. We are working with Jakobe to get him to sleep in his own bed. Grandma and Papa thought it might be a good idea to have Jakobe build his own sleeping buddy. This is him. So far, he has slept with Monkey every single night in his own bed! Monkey and Jakobe even have matching PJ's! Ahh Ohh Eee Eee may have solved some of our sleeping troubles we are having with Jakobe!!! It's been 8 days now that Jakobe has slept in his very own bed!
The first night Jakobe got out of his bed a total of 15 times, and we walked him right back into his room and put him in his bed. (He has slept in bed with us his entire life) So, we are now breaking our habit and getting him into his own bed.
The second night he got out of bed 8 times.
The third night was his sleep study.
The fourth night was 8 times out of his bed.
The fifth and sixth nights were 3 times out of his bed.
The seventh night he did not get out of bed at all!!! He woke up once and cried for a few minutes and laid back down and went to sleep!!!
He is doing amazingly great sleeping in his own bed! It's been a lot of sleepless nights working with him but we all need to do this. Nobody is getting the sleep we need with him sleeping in our bed. We had him seen by a sleep specialist and had him do an overnight sleep study so we can figure out why he's not sleeping at night, why he wakes up so many times during the night. I'm beginning to think that a lot of his sleep problems were just because he was sleeping in our bed, because he's been doing amazing sleeping in his own bed!!!
