A Big Boy Bed!

Saturday night D made a big move!  He was loving the bed all day Saturday, but when bedtime came he was a little nervous.  (Although he wasn't nearly as nervous as his mama and daddy!)


He was sure to take care of all of the important things before settling down for bed.  He blew his nose...

"Ugged" his monkeys and doggie night night,

and waved good-night to us.

He was such a big boy that he didn't even want to read Gadget before getting in bed!  He knew something was going on, and when Justin gave him bedtime kisses his little bottom lip started to quiver  but he never cried!
He didn't, but I did!  Oh, I can't believe how quickly he's growing up!

D went right to bed and didn't make a sound.  He was sound asleep when we went to check on him before going to bed ourselves, and when we went in to get him Sunday morning...


He was still snoozing away!
 

D woke up a happy man,

told us all about his big boy sheets,

and looked pretty rested from his first night as a BIG BOY!

Where, oh where, did my little baby go?

  10. THanks for your comment on my blog :-) The coffee maker is a Tassimo - it is awesome and the discs you need for the coffee you can get at Walmart and I'm sure Target carries some as well - plus they sell them online through the Tassimo site for the same price (Plus shipping) if you can't find them anywhere.

    Thanks for the camera info - I was looking at a Canon Rebal but am seeing more Nikon's out there too so I think I'll have to research that one before I buy ..

    I really enjoy your blog too! Your son is adorable, your store is amazing and I pray for your family in my quiet time throughout the week.

  11. On a differant note - thanks for posting about the transition to the big boy bed - my oldest is just past two and still in his crib - I know that by the end of the summer we will be moving him to his big boy bed too so it has helped to see what you did, and how the first night went :-)
