Before...

And after...

The surprise...

You like your new room? And your big bed?

Yeah!

Night, night! We love you and we're so proud of you. Wait for us to come and get you in the morning.

We made it a day for cleaning and room rearranging. It felt great to to get a lot done. And it's about time that NJ has a big boy bed! I know most are probably thinking, my kid's been in a bed since.... (fill in the blank). Somehow NJ just wasn't a climber and he liked sleeping in his crib. He'd tell us he was afraid of falling off a bed. Plus there was the big question of what we'd do next. Turn the crib into the toddler bed? Put his mattress on the floor? Find a twin size? Borrow a bed from Grandma? We finally decided to use our guest room bed. It's free and it's nice and big. Let's see how he does, it's his first night in his big bed by himself. We set some rules about not opening his chest drawers or closet doors and to stay in his room to wait for us to get him. This way, I can put him to bed by myself and baba won't have to worry about us by ourselves. No lifting involved, which is great since he's now a confirmed 35 pounds! Even if it wasn't painful (and not good) to lift, it would be hard for me. Life will be getting closer to normal with me not needing so much help. And our baby is growing up to be a boy way too fast! A big step ahead for all of us. :)
