Three big boys....three big beds

Well, we finally did it.

It was a day I was dreading, for more than one reason.

Significance reasons....."we're all done with the crib...."

*sniff, sniff*

Practical reasons......"now Ethan can climb out of his bed when he wakes up at 6:45 a.m. and I actually will have to get up with him at that hour....."

*sniff, sniff harder*

But, today, we decided, was the day. Time to turn Ethan's crib into a toddler bed.

I was dreading nap time from about 9:30 a.m. on.

But....

I'm happy to report....

....it went swimmingly.

If I believed in omens, I would hope that this was a good omen.

We walked in to his bedroom; I asked him if he was ready to take his rest in his big-boy bed; he nodded *grin*; I laid him down, and told him that he was to stay put in his bed, and not get up. He laughed and giggled quite a bit--I imagine thinking that this was the coolest thing ever.

Five minutes later....

....I had two sleeping boys and one semi-resting boy. Most importantly: Ethan was sleeping, and he had barely moved two inches, let alone gotten up.

(Colin--top bed; Cam--trundle; E--toddler bed)

Now, we'll just see what happens tonight at bedtime--when he isn't quite so tired.....
