Ever since he could roll, one of Charles' all-time favorite things to do is to roll/plop/crawl/run around like a crazy-man in his bed/bedroom. Especially at night time when we are trying to calm him down and put his pajamas on. I think it has become part of our night-time routine.
This is a movie of some nap-time fun a few months ago. I thought his hair was pretty silly.
When we got home from Christmas break, Charles figured out how he could climb out of his pack and play. So he got a big-boy bed. We have really had to be creative in figuring out how to get him used to this new freedom (before we would just throw him in the pack and play and say goodnight). Our doors are kinda old so he can open them.
One tactic was to lay down and fall asleep.
Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't:

We even got doorknob covers, and those worked for a few days - long enough for him to learn to go to sleep on his own in his bed. It didn't take him long to overcome that obstacle, and he enjoys running out to greet us a few minutes after we put him down. Luckily we only have to put him back one or two times and he goes to sleep. Usually snuggling with his (stuffed animal) puppy.
