BIG BOY BED!

As a follow up to yesterday's post--Cal is, once again, sleeping in the big boy bed!!! Yesterday's nap went well, and after he woke up, I attached the bed rail and remade his bed with a lighter weight blanket.  Here is is right after nap time, sooooo excited and proud!



At bed time last night, we had a little excitement-- Andy had an upset tummy apparently, and projectile vomited everywhere.  I was frozen after round one, a little surprised that so much just came out of my little guy, so I didn't move out of his bed room-- then rouund two hit and covered the entire dresser and floor.  Eddie came in at this point and told me to get to the bathroom, but it was like I couldn't move fast enough, so round three hit and covered the changing table and floor again.  It was impressive.  Even more impressive-- Andy never stopped smiling the whole time.  Seriously. It was a LOT of throw up, so we were cleaning all of that up right at bed time...


After things were under control and I actually sprang into action instead of standing there like a buffoon, we were ready for Cal to go night night in his big boy bed!

We went into the room, like normal, and put him in the bed.  He was still really excited about it.  We gave him his cars just like in the crib and he was giddy.  And then I repeated the same thing I did as during nap time: "you stay in your crib until mommy or daddy come to get you-- you do not get out of your big boy bed." He got a little upset when we said this and he started crying.  We both kissed him and then walked out the door.  He cried for about 5 minutes and then it got quiet. 


I put Andy down and then checked back in with Cal.  He was almost asleep, but popped his head up when he saw the door open (whoops!). I went quickly over to his bed and told him we needed to say prayers together and he put his hands together real fast and was asleep by the time we finished!

That sweet kid slept through the night...and did not make a peep once!  At 8:30, Eddie could hear him in there playing with his cars, so he went in and Cal was still laying in the bed, head on the pillow, just holding two cars playing quietly.  HOT DAMN!

He is taking a nap in there again today, so I guess it's time to say bye to the crib! 

thank goodness this little nugget still loves his crib...or momma would be reallly upset!!!
