Big Boy Bed

Oliver finally got a big boy bed.  What a change from when Madeline got hers.  It took several months and a party to work Madeline up to sleeping in her bed.  Oliver helped me take down his crib and crawled into his bed as soon as it was set up.  Madeline spent the next 30 minutes organizing his stuffed animals, pillows and blankies.  

For the most part he stays in his bed with the threat of his paci being taken away.  And speaking of pacis, they have to stay in his bed now.  This big boy stuff can be pretty hard sometimes.  

  

This is his first night in his bed.  He started with a few toys.  But, by the time I went back in to check on him, he was sleeping on top of the entire contents of his basket.  The best part of him of him being in a big boy bed is that I can cover him up and kiss him right before I go to bed.  Neither of which I could do with his crib tent on.    

He usually stays in his room when he wakes us. (Although I have found him in Madeline's room with the door closed)  But, he does like to stand in his doorway, with the door cracked open, waiting for us to come out in the morning.  It can be a little freaky to see a little boy quietly staring at you as you wake up in the morning.  But, we are proud of our big boy.
