We Did It!!




I put up the toddler bed yesterday, and really just expected to not get any sleep at all for the next week but i really want him in it and used to it before baby Cooper comes. So we had our normal night time routine, picked up all the toys, took a bath, brushed our teeth, said prayers and then laid him down like normal, all tucked in the new bed with his sheets and his little pillow, said night night and ..... that was it...... He slept perfectly all night long, like nothing was different and he couldnt just get up and go play with his toys, i am sooo amazed. i kept going to his door and listening to make sure i couldnt hear playing.. nothing, all night. Weird, he loves his bed with the truck and the car.



He played on his bed all afternoon. jumping, "body slamming" took his juice up there and his farm animals lol




Before Nick and I finally went to bed i went in to look at him just to make sure i wasnt going crazy and that is what we found, perfect little angel looking soo grown up, i teared up a little but it is good. we will see if he does as good tonight lol.

Yay! What an awesome little boy, good son you have. What a cute bed too, I bet you're a proud, relieved mother!

Elise,
That is the cutest picture ever! I can imagine the emotions you are feeling having your toddler grow older. What a awesome transition as well. And you are able to keep your sleep! Yay!

Wow, I can't believe how big Wil is! Good for you guys!

I'm considering getting Maya a toddler bed but she's a crazy monkey and probably won't stay in there :)

Nicholas was easy like that too. No problems. Well he plays in his room for awhile (probably because Lilly shares a room with him and they keep each other up) and then he gets into bed when he's tired. I'm glad it's going well for you!

Isn't it funny how as parents we think everything is going to be a big huge transition and it ends up being no big deal...it was the same way with our boys with the big beds, and getting rid of pacifiers, and sippy cups, etc. They always surprise me. Congrats of Wil's graduation to the big boy bed...
