Pavlov’s kid.

No, this post is not about the child of Pavlov, instead it is about the theory of the scientist named Pavlov and how I am using it to train my son.

My toddler is still having a hard time sleeping in his own bed, every night it seems like he comes into bed with us, he is even in our bed when its time to drink his milk… So, my husband’s bright idea is to hold the milk bottle over his bed! It sort of works… I guess… He comes to his bed, finishes his milk, and then comes back to our bed! I am not sure if that was the desired effect?!

The bottle is already associated with bedtime in his mind, so the plan was to form an association with the bottle and his bed, which would lead to his mind automatically forming the association between bedtime and his bed… or so the theory goes…

I guess that a toddler defies all logic…

Back in our bed last night… having territorial fights with the newborn, who occasionally end up in bed with me. when I forget to put him back in his crib from feedings I am not sure what else to try; I am thinking that its just a phase.

At least no one is fighting to get in bed with my husband!
