Guess who slept in his very own big boy bed last night??? That's right, Christian!!!! So I cheated a little and didn't nap him yesterday so he would be totally exhausted at bedtime, but he still stayed in his big boy bed all night!!! Hooray!! What you can't see in this picture is that his crib is still set up on the other side of his room. I haven't totally committed to the idea of a big boy bed, I'm too nervous that bedtime will become a nightmare and I just can't handle that right now. I've been so relucant to do this because Christian loves his crib and doesn't even try to get out of it even though he has proven that he can. I hate to mess up a good thing, but with a new baby on the way we've got to prepare ourselves!
Christian woke up this morning to a cheering crowd, Auntie Amy, Abby, Nate and myself all cheered for him and gave him lots of hugs because he stayed in his bed all night (despite the fact that I know he was awake around 3am). He looked a little bewildered. We'll see how things go tonight! I'll keep you posted! Wouldn't it be a blessing if this was an easy transition!

I was more stressed about it with my boys than I needed to. Christian will do great. I moved Josiah at 18 mos (it helped that we had just moved to a new house), and Jacob at about 21 months. They both did great. Just keep enforcing the stay in bed rule and he'll do great (and don't give up his nap yet!!!)
yeah for Christian!! Wow, I need to have kids or something because I have had nothing new to post in like a week!! I don't think Daniel would like it if I brought my camera on date night tonight!! ha ha...Glad the bed worked!!
Way to go Christian! You are growing up so fast. That bed looks familiar. Could it have been Mommy's bed when she was a little girl?
Love, Grandmom
Good job Christian! You're such a big boy now!
