Big Boy Bed

I just put my baby in a "big boy bed" tonight. I really have to admit that I just about wanted to cry as I left the room and began to listen and watch him on our monitor. He is over 2 years old and was very excited to sleep in it tonight, so I guess this is just one of the momentous occasions of growing up that I should celebrate and not mourn!!

.

He actually has had a twin size bed in his room for a few weeks, which we had planned to move him into, but he really hadn't had any interest in leaving his crib, until we made this purchase today at the local kids consignment sale. (love bargains!) It is more his size, fits his "rocket" sheets (which he loves) and just seems to be the right transition bed for a little toddler.

.

I told Davis that part of moving into a toddler bed was giving his "turtle" (musical little toy that attaches to the crib) to Isaac for his crib. He did and and he even showed Isaac how to play with it. Adorable. Great big brother. As I put Davis to bed, I caved and said, "if you want turtle for another night I'll put him on for you." to which he replied. "I gave to Isaac. Isaac borrow now." He didn't even need it. Then I left him in his silent room... what a big, precious little boy.

.

He is so proud, and we are so proud too!

This is what we hope won't happen in the middle of the night!! He has been instructed to say "get up please" in the morning when it is light outside. We'll see. :)
