My baby is growing up



Saturday night was a huge milestone for Bryson. He still has a bedtime bottle and we planned to cut that out this past weekend. We had also been talking about moving him into a toddler bed shortly. Well, we decided to head over to Toys R Us to look at beds. We asked him if he wanted a car bed or a Choo-choo bed. Of course, you can see what one he choose. My son has expensive taste! We weren't going to put it together right away, but while I was giving Bryson a bath, daddy decided to start putting it together. When Bryson walked in and saw what daddy was doing, he got excited. He got down on his knees to help him put it together. Once they were finished we asked B if he wanted to sleep in his crib and he said no, so we took the crib out and moved the train bed in. He was in such amazement of his new bed and got in it willingly. We decided to take advantage of his distraction and give him no bottle that night. We tucked him in and he told us night-night. As we walked downstairs, I was near tears because it was as if he grew up right in front of my eyes in a matter of moments. We never heard a peep from him all night long. When I walked into his room Sunday morning, he was still laying in his bed. Of course he then got up because he wanted to show me the wheels on the bed and Thomas' face. Last night he didn't go down as easily, but once we asked him if he wanted to sleep in the crib instead, he quickly jumped in his bed. They grow up way too fast!!!

Aww. I think I'd be teary, too. That is one super cool bed, though! Can you really blame him? lol. I have a tag for you coming up on my blog in the next few days... it's a picture thing. Right up your alley. ;)

He is growing up, but each new stage will be wonderful! Just wait until he is jumping off of Thomas's Face onto the matress! :)

You are so brave. We haven't tried the toddler bed yet, Daniel is too intent on staying up and fighting sleep!! Boy they grow up fast - I love that bed - Daniel would love it too!

BTW, what part of FL do you live - you can email me at beaglefarm1@yahoo.com - Troy, Daniel and I are headed to the panhandle late summer to visit Troy's grandmother.
