First Night In Big Boy Bed

Last night was Thomas' first night in his big boy bed. It went VERY smoothly. He did a few backflips off the bed (we are starting with just the mattress on the floor in case he falls off...easy back flips are an unintended benefit), we read a few books, we sang him a song, and then he laid down on his pillow, covered up, and said "Good night Mommy and Daddy." When we looked in on him an hour or two later, he was still in the same position. And when I went up this morning to peek at him, he was still sleeping on the pillow all covered up. As a matter of fact, he's napping in there right now too. Although these first two times sleeping in his bed have gone great, we realize that one of these days he'll figure out that he now has the freedom to get out of the bed when he wants to. We know there will probably be rougher days ahead but for now we're celebrating. We're also a bit sentimental because our boy looked so big in his crib and yet looks so tiny sleeping on the full size mattress.
