Big Boy Bed!

We finally moved Wyatt into a big boy bed! He's been completely potty trained for well over a month and has never once had an accident since he ditched the pull-ups. He was starting to climb out of his crib to use the potty at night and I realized we had taken his crib as far as it was gonna go.

I teared up quite a bit as I was tearing down his crib. All I could remember was my perfect little baby boy sleeping in it and here I was, taking it down already. It felt like I was closing a chapter in his life and I hated every minute of it.

But my big-footed, crazy toddler was over the moon about his new bed! Infact, he has been more than willing to go down for naps and doesn't put up a fight about bedtime at night either. For me, there has been one really nice benefit of the big boy bed - I get to snuggle up with him and read him a story every night before he falls asleep. It softens the blow of saying goodbye to the bed he came home to.

Yay for Wyatt!! What cute pictures!! I love the one of him snuggled in with his hippo!!

Isn't it nice to be able to read next to them in bed?
