Jack had a big surprise when he got home from his playdate Friday morning. He had a new, big boy bed! I wasn't sure how he was going to react, but he was so excited! He wanted to get right in and lay down. He calls it his Elmo bed. (We bought a book called "Big Enough for a Bed" that features Elmo moving from his crib to his new bed. Clearly this sunk in. Check out the book on Amazon.)
We tried his afternoon nap on Friday, but that didn't quite work out. Jack was playing around and ended up falling out the bed (don't worry, it was only about 8 inches, no damage done). That evening, he wanted to sleep in the bed. It took him over an hour to fall asleep, but once he did, he slept the full night. He hasn't wanted to go back to the crib - which is great.
In order to fit the toddler bed, we had to rearrange the furniture in the room. Fortunately, everything fits and leaves space for Jack (and soon Spencer) to play. I really like the new arrangement!
Next up, moving Spence in with Jack. This one will be interesting and is a few weeks away - though Spence is out-growing his mini-crib.
Pictures of course!
