Big Step to Big Boy Status

Holden decided Friday night that he was ready to sleep in his new firetruck bed. He did great all weekend with the sleep transition. Goodbye crib, Hello big boy room. He had a bit of a struggle laying down for his nap Saturday afternoon with all of the toys and books to distract him, but he eventually fell asleep after a couple of rounds of Mom checking on him and reminding him what he was suppose to be doing. The best thing about his transition to the twin bed, he can't open door knobs yet and he played independently for over an hour Saturday morning without asking for us to come get him. Yay for getting a little more sleep on the weekends!

Since he did so well with moving into his own room, we decided we better get the crib/baby room to a point where he can't regress back to the crib. So, I packed up all of the crib sheets and receiving blankets, etc. that were around. I'll have to admit it was a little sad, my baby is not a baby anymore.

Now if potty training would only go as smoothly.

The Big Reveal

Holden currently shares a room with the guest bed. Not anymore. He now has his own space. Jeremy made the bed and the ladder. Holden likes playing in his new big boy room, but we haven't tackled the sleep transition yet. He is not climbing out of his crib, but we are prepared if that happens. I'm not trying to make my little man grow up too fast, but we wanted him to have his own space even if he isn't ready to sleep there yet.

Jeremy did an awesome job on the room and Holden loves it. A pretty sweet room for a pretty sweet kid.
