Big Boy Bed!

When we moved in we decided to try Travis out in his new big boy bed. I was hesitant, Wayne was all for it. But it made sense to try it now, since we were hoping to get him in before the new baby came along in December. I thought we would try him out in October or November, but Wayne brought up a valid point: since we were moving house and making changes it was a good time to switch. New house, new bed, that kind of idea. So the day we moved in we left the crib in pieces and Wayne set up the toddler bed. And that night I held my breath as we tried it, and of course, our son is way ahead of me, and had no problems and was fine. I got a little worried when he woke up crying in the middle of the night, but that was more of a "where am i?" kind of thing due to a new house, new room, new surroundings thing. Once I went in and out him back down, he knew he was OK, and that we were there and then he slept the rest of the night, from 7 pm - 9 am!!!! He never sleeps to 9 am, so it was wonderful, big day of moving i guess tires you out! :)
And since then its been success! What can I say, Wayne was right, (shhhhhh no one heard that), we haven't had any problems from day 1. Sure every now and then we find him asleep on the floor or on the mattress beside his bed, but we just pick him up and put him back in his bed. And now at bedtime he knows the bed is sleep time and he almost eagerly sits in his bed and has his stories and drinks his milk and goes to sleep. Sometimes during naps i hear him running around but he doesn't cry and always eventually lays down to sleep. And in the mornings he gets up and plays in his room, giving me a bit of time to shower before i go and get him, which is such a total change! In his crib he would wake up and cry out right away to get out of that thing. Toddler bed is happy days for all 3 of us :) :) :) So of course here's a few photos :)

Gone in to get him from a nap!
