Big Boy!

We've had a MAJOR transition in this household this week...*insert 2001 Space Odyssey theme song*...the toddler bed has been packed away and Isaac is officially in THE BIGGEST OF BIG BOY BEDS! 

Apparently, big boys also don't wear shirts.

As we packed up the toddler bed, which had also been his crib, it occurred to me that is was EXACTLY 4 years ago I was putting it together; only able to imagine the little boy that would sleep in it.

Fast forward four years, and my now not-so-little boy was using the tools to take apart his own bed.

The springs didn't actually need to be removed, but HUGE points for effort.

With the toddler bed packed away, the baby bumpers and crib sheets washed and stacked (WAAAAHHHHH!!!) we built his new bed. Apparently, when the instructions say two adults are needed for assembly, that actually means one determined momma willing to balance partial assembled bed frames on her head and hips while not swearing at the allen wrench...and a 5 year old with a screw driver:

I promise you, my child is fully dressed...on occasion.

He made it through the night with only a pool noodle between his new Olaf sheets to protect him from falling. It must have been a good nights sleep...he woke up EARLY and FULL of energy. (Lord, help me)

I'm so proud of my BIG boy and the strides he has been taking. To think this is the bed he'll most likely be in until he is a teenager...*sniff*...I think I need to go curl up with his baby sheets and cry a little. <3

Good night Jesus, and thank you for the lovely day
