Big Boy Bed

Carson has finally graduated into a big boy bed! This has happened for a few reasons:
1. His little sister needs a bed when she arrives
2. He's getting to big for his crib
3. For the love, he's almost 3....we should have done this a long time ago  :)

I'll be the first to admit, we probably kept him in his crib way too long but he never tried crawling out of it and he still fit in it - I guess my thinking was, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

But, since sissy is coming in a few months (that's what we call her right now since poor little girl still doesn't have a name) we figured we should get started on sleeping in a big boy bed. We've been looking for awhile - waiting to find that perfect bed! I don't know why we put so much effort into, I have to remind myself that he's going to scratch it, color on it, break it, etc. But, we finally found the right bed for him.

I snuck into his room to get some pics of his last night in his crib. Oh my, I was almost in tears seeing him in that crib.....my little baby is growing up so fast and no longer a baby boy. I remember his first nights in that crib - he was just so tiny, fragile, innocent. I know people say they grow up fast but I don't think we realize it until a big step like this takes place.

I love that he still sucks his thumb.... :)

And, now here's a picture of his first nap in his BIG BOY BED! I honestly don't think we could get one more blanket or one more stuffed animal in there with him! haha

 

We are still in the process of getting bedding, painting, hanging pictures, etc. We've been holding off since we knew a big boy bed was on it's way soon. So, let that fun decision making process start! ha

 

I think someone likes there new bed!!
