Big Boy Bed...

Alexander is finally getting himself a big boy bed - no more convertible bed, but a true big boy bed!  Lately he's been coming in to cuddle with Mommy every night because he says it's much more comfier.  And I have to agree with him, his old bed was just not that comfy.

But not anymore - he will have his very own comfy & cozy bed!  With plenty of space too!  I made sure to get him cozy & warm blankets to ensure he'll want to stay in each night.  Then Alexander & Mommy went to pick out the fun bedding.

When Alexander left for school Friday morning, his room looked like this:

 When Alexander got home, his room looked like this (he picked out the cool bedding):

Excitement...

And this was Alexander checking out his brand new big boy bed...

The Triple Bs: Big Boy Bed
It was time to end the era of the crib and bring out the big boy bed. He was very excited to see it! He loved climbing in and getting out - I had him practice several times. It will be interesting to see how he does and i/how many he tries to get out.
I'm excited for him to start this new phase...we could have put him in a big boy bed sooner but the fact that he never really tried to climb out (with the ability of coming into our bed whenever) allowed us to keep him in the crib. But with him starting in the Preschool class, and the fact that he has put his leg up on the sides of the crib several times this week, makes me think that now is the perfect time.

We'll keep him in the daybed for a while - see how he does. And when he gets the hang of it, we'll convert the whole thing to a full size bed that he will have for a very long time.
My little boy is growing up...
