Guess who is in a big-boy bed!

I know that a lot of parents move their kids out of cribs and into beds around age 2, so it may seem strange that Joshua is just now moving into a big-boy bed. David and I decided to wait until Joshua seemed ready to move over and able to handle the freedom that it entailed. We didn't want to have a lot of sleep interruptions and ups-and-downs that lots of younger kids often do when they move from their crib to a bed. He loved sleeping in his crib and only recently suggested sleeping in a bed like Mommy and Daddy. My mother had purchased a toddler bed from a yard sale a few years back (in anticipation) and purchased this really cute bedding as part of his Christmas gift this year. We set the bed up on Monday morning and starting with his nap that day, he has been doing GREAT! He has happily gotten in his bed for his nap each afternoon and for sleeping at night and snuggled right up with his lion to go to sleep. Since he's such an active little guy, I anticipated having some issues, so we've talked about how big boys stay in their beds and get their sleep--so far, he's doing great!

How did he get so big?!

He loves getting "snug," as he calls it :)

We are really proud of Joshua for making the transition so easily. We love our big boy! :)
