I Spoke Too Soon

Sorry everyone--two posts without pictures! I hate that, but felt the need to record this. As most of you know Carter turned the big 2 yesterday (and it's like instantly he knows you are supposed to be terrible-two, but that's another story) so my friend, Melissa, asked me today if we were switching him to a big boy bed soon. I said "no way!" He actually goes to bed really good in the crib right now (I put him in and he doesn't make a peep) and who knows what he would do if he could get out, so until he starts to climb out, I'm not switching him.

Fast forward to tonight. Our night time routine lately has been to all meet in Ty's room for family scripture and bed time story and then we take Carter to his crib. Well, tonight Carter layed down in Ty's bed and was not budging. He wanted to sleep there. So, reluctantly, we decided to experiment. Since Ty doesn't have school in the morning, we took him to our room and left Carter in Ty's bed. As of right now he's been in there 20 minutes and hasn't made a peep. I checked on him once--he was still awake, but hadn't moved a muscle. Is my baby really growing up? Could he really be ready for a big boy bed? I don't know if I'm ready!

Isn't it crazy how they one day just decide they want to become "big"!?! I think it is really sad! Hopefully the move into the big boy bed is a smooth transition. I wish you luck!

I'm having the same issue with Parker. Everyone asks me when I'm moving him into a big boy bed and I say never. He already cries himself to sleep he will never stay in a bed. Then the other day he was trying to climb out. He has been taking off his diapers and peeing in his crib. So today Tyler went in his room he had his pj's and diaper off and his leg stuck over the crib. Parker said "Oh No I stuck." It was hilarious. I'm not ready for a big boy bed!! Let me know how it goes for you if you decided to do the big move.
