Grady is growing like a weed. He turned two in December and is becoming a little boy right before our eyes. Here are a few stories about his bizarre sleeping habits. A few months ago we had an experience that started the evolution from baby crib to big boy bed. At approximately two am one evening we heard a sound, no cries followed so we rolled over until the sound of little feet were heard coming down the hall, I assumed it was Kalia out of bed, so I climbed out of bed with my eyes still tightly closed and as I took one then two steps I ran into Grady in our bedroom. My eyes opened and I asked myself, while still in my sleepy haze, how did he get out of his crib? He slept with us that night and the next night we reassembled his crib into a daybed configuration with safety rails. This was the beginning of the sleeping on the floor routine. Each night after we tucked Grady into bed Sean and I would go about our evening quiet routine and then it would start, (It may be helpful to note Grady sleeps in a make shift room with rice paper walls on two sides and no door in the door frame to his room) we would hear little feet in the dining room or under the dining table or behind the front room chair and there he was laying on the floor. We eventually realized he preferred the floor to his crib. And thus began the mattress on the floor situation. They definitely don't give good decorating ideas for a mattress on the floor scenario in the Pottery Barn Kids magazine.

Funny! What a cool little kid.
My brother used to sleep walk a lot. In the morning we would find him asleep in all different kinds of place, which included the tub, on the toilet (fully dressed, no accidents just sitting there with his head in his hands asleep), in a closet, or like Grady on the floor someplace.
The funniest one was when we were on vacation in CA he ended up leaving our hotel room and fell asleep in front of the elevators. He woke up to someone stepping over him as they got off.
