my not so big boy…
…is sleeping his first night in his BIG BOY BED. I’ve been working on re-decorating his room to incorporate his new bed and dresser (gotta get that crib and changing table into the other room to make way for a new bundle) and almost have it complete!
So here he is…reading bedtime stories with Daddy…and snuggled in tight. It’s been 2 hours since lights out and I haven’t heard a peep yet. I wish I had had my camera handy when I brought him upstairs to show him his new bed for the first time. He screamed, “THAT’S A CAR!!!” and dove head first onto the bed. (He did consequently nail his noggin right into the headboard which caused quite the bump and then he was scared of his new bed for a few minutes following the incident…but he got over it.) Funny how the girls seemed so much bigger when they moved into a twin bed? And they weren’t….Miss A went straight from a crib to a twin bed at 20 months. And Miss J was sleeping in an old fashioned toddler bed by 18 months. I guess the youngest always stays a baby longer 
It was so dark in his bedroom at 8:30 at night. I’m hoping to get some cute snuggly morning shots of him too to commemorate this big step!
I can’t wait to share the whole room once I’ve got it finished but that will have to wait for the big reveal Still working out a few details…
Sleep tight LITTLE BOY…you can sleep all night in that BIG BOY bed but you’ll still be my baby!
I ***love**** his bed! The color, the distressing, the bedding….all just perfect for your “big” boy. And I know exactly what you mean about the baby of the family phenomenon. It happens over here all the time too! Something about that “baby” always seeming little…..it’s a coping mechanism developed by us mamas!!
Really-super-in a big way-crushin’-lovin’ that shade of blue on his bed!!!! I can do “girly girl” pretty well, but I need inspiration when it comes to boy stuff so I can’t wait for the BIG REVEAL! Want to come over and teach me the ropes??
Oh I can’t wait to see the big reveal! I’m lovin’ what I see so far. We’ve been wondering if we should switch our little guy to a twin bed soon, so I’m glad to hear that all of yours switched right around two. We waited until 3 for the girls.
Say it ain’t so….
