The Big Boy Bed

Monday night Riser reached another milestone. He moved to his big boy bed. We've been talking it up for quite a while now, trying to get him excited about it. I took him to IKEA and let him pick out the covers (they are lime green with hippos if you can't tell from the picture), he also tried out every big boy bed they had in the place (little did he know that we had one already at home). Anyway, when we set it up on Monday night, we let him play on it for a while and then got him ready for bed. He was a little confused when we told him it was time to go to sleep. He went over to crib and waited for us to put him in. We asked him if he wanted to sleep in his big boy bed, and he said "no". We told him to give it a try, and to our delight,he laid down on it, and stayed there all night! Wahoo! He has slept there every night and at each nap with no tears. Tuesday night, he stood next to his crib with a look on his face that seemed to say "I wonder why I don't sleep here anymore", but he has been such a big boy! We're so proud!
