Somebody spent his first night in a big boy bed last night!!
Well, yesterday the big boy beds arrived at our house. John Turner was napping when they arrived. He had a quite a surprise waiting on him when he awoke! He was very excited and told us he wanted to sleep in them last night. Well, when it got time for bed last night, he started to change his mind and ask for his baby bed. We talked about how he was too big for that bed and how the new baby was going to need it to sleep in. He finally climbed in! Of course he also brought along Glo-Glo, Big Al, Dolphin, Monkey and his Thomas the Train blanket!! We read some books and layed with him for a while. We then told him we had to leave. He cried for a very short period of time and then he went to sleep. He only woke up once about midnight. I went in and comforted him and put his blanket on him and he was back asleep. He slept until 7:00 this morning. He came running in our room screaming, "I woke up in my big boy bed!" He was so proud! We are going to have to work on getting out of the bed without calling Momma first!
He is now taking his very first nap in his big boy bed!
I can't decide if I want to be happy or sad about this! I am so thankful that is has been an easy transition for him! On the other hand, I am so sad that my baby will never sleep in his crib again!! BOO HOO!! It is OK because soon enough we will have another sweet baby boy occupying that crib!
