Big Boy Bed





Andrew started sleeping in his own big boy bed last Friday & I am now convinced more than ever that we have the most awesome, most fun kid ever! Our biggest issue has been that Andrew loves his bed so much & just has too much fun to go to sleep. The worse case was Sunday night when he woke up at 1am & kept us up until 5am laughing, jibber jabbering & happily flopping around. He has not actually gotten a full night's sleep yet, which is a big deal (to me : ) b/c he doesn't take naps anymore - just sleeps 12 hours at night. He stays on his bed for the most part with the exception of Friday night when I heard him at 3:30am & found him playing in the living room - we keep his door closed now : ) Mommy & Daddy have both (on separate occasions) laid with Andrew in his bed - a bit cramped. The only traumatic event was when Andrew went to sleep on his bed by chance before we bought the white side. I found him asleep & put pillows next to the bed in case he fell, which worked great b/c he didn't wake up when he fell, but then he rolled under his bed & was trapped by the pillows behind him. Poor thing, we couldn't hear him crying over the monitor, so when I found him he was pretty scarred. Didn't deter him though, as you can see. So there you have it, the adventures of moving from sleeping with Mommy & Daddy to his own big boy bed : )

yay Andrew!!! Such a big boy...but what is your momma gonna do without you in her bed?! :)
Reminds me of when Kalee moved to her big girl bed - we found her (and her tomato Bob pillow) on the couch one morning and on the kitchen floor another morning! Good times - although I'm not so sure I approve of all this growing up that is happening! Can't wait until the end of August!!!!!!!
