Big Boy Bed

Jack's a big boy now! We said goodbye to the crib a few weekends ago. He loves his new bed and has no problem falling asleep in it. Now if only we could get him to STAY in it all night! We knew we'd never be able to trick him into thinking he can't get out of the bed on his own- he's been climbing off of ours for months. So in the middle of the night I've been waking up to his 2 year old royal highness staring at me and saying, "Mommy! Up!" and since I'm so tired- into our bed he comes! Bad bad bad habit!!! We're (ok, just Brandon) working on putting him back to bed in the middle of the night.

We bought a guard rail at Babies R Us and apparently we've both gotten significantly dumber since obtaining our master's degrees a few years ago. We can't figure out the last steps of the directions. So the guard rail sits half assembled in the living room, and Jack hasn't fallen out of his bed once. Looks like we'll be returning the guard rail!

We got his PERFECT quilt (seriously- dogs AND choo choos on the SAME quilt???) at Marshalls for a heck of a deal. Thanks Cate! Great idea!

Finley loves the new bed- but still prefers to sleep on the floor in our room at night.

That quilt is AWESOME!! Is J in a new room or does Baby Girl get a new room?

How cute is that???

When our big boy started in his bed we ended up with a palate on the floor by our bed...I was pregnant and UNABLE to sleep with him in our bed or to get up and try to put him back to sleep. Eventually - he decided that his big boy bed was a much better place to sleep!

I miss Jack! He's getting so big! We need to coordinate a visit, and soon!

Jack is in his same room- the baby gets the "office" which already looks more like a baby's room since the crib is in there!
