Jonah Is FINALLY In A Big Bed!

After we got home from our trip in September, we decided that Jonah was sleeping a little better with his meds and that we should finally move him into a big bed.  After all, he is THREE AND A HALF!  My other kids were in beds a year before that!  And poor little Nathan wasn't sleeping very well in the pack 'n play anymore.  So Brandon took apart the bunk beds.  The original plan was for Jacob and Jonah to share a room, but Jonah's still not sleeping quite well enough for that yet.  To be honest, I don't know if Jonah will ever be able to share a room.  We'll have to see how he does in the distant future because he's suppose to share with Nathan eventually so Jacob, being the oldest, can have his own room.

For now we lock Jonah in his room (aren't we cruel?) really for his own safety and the sanity of everyone else in the family (he'd wake everyone up).  We're still experimenting with meds.  We have found some that help a little, but nothing that keeps him asleep all night.  Brandon also installed an amazing night camera in Jonah's room that records his sleep right on our computer.  We can watch the night in fast forward.  We have noticed now that Jonah's not sleeping quite as well as we thought he was on his meds.  But we're experimenting with the meds and charting the results, a very time consuming process.  Hopefully we can find something to help him.  The camera has been very informative for us.  Bless his heart, he tries SO hard to sleep!  We are trying hard to find answers for our little guy.  We're grateful that he's so high functioning, but at the same time it's making it very difficult to get answers or help.  We're proud of you, Jonah, for trying so hard to sleep and be a good boy.  We love you!
