We have some friends that were getting rid of their toddler bed and asked if we would like to have it. Of course we said yes - given the fact that when Ben stands in his crib the edge is practically at his tummy - I thought it would be time soon to move to a big boy bed. I really wasn't quite ready to move him though - he doesn't crawl out of his crib or anything - so what's the hurry, right? Mostly I was worried he would come out of his bed, because it definitely seems like something Ben would do :).
But he really surprised us! He said he wanted to sleep there during his nap (in this picture he's just waking up from nap - I didn't get in there during the nap to take a picture) so I thought we'd try it - and he didn't move to get out of bed once! Yay! (we have a video monitor so I watched him until he fell asleep, ready to run in and put him back to bed if needed) In bed that night (the first picture) he did great again! I was shocked! Now I just have to spray paint the bed white so it goes a little better with the room. We have a big boy in the house now! And even crazier to me - no cribs in the house either! It's been 4 years since that's happened!!

Wow! What a big boy! Glad to hear it went well and so funny, the same day a friend of mine was FBing all about moving her son to a big boy bed!

Congratulations Ben! What a move! Sam loves her big girl bed and even "helps" make it in the mornings.
Oh my goodnes, what a big boy you are Ben! I can't believe you're already in a big boy bed! We'll have to show Cooper your bed now!
