Mommy's bed to Big Boy bed

We decided it was time to convert the crib that Braeden slept in a handful of times since he was born, to his own bed. He has slept with me since he was born. His heart beating next to mine. His little sounds he made. His yawns. His hiccups. His smell... It was the most precious bond that I am proud of and will hold onto forever.

I know that I heard many, many times, "if you let him sleep with you, you will never get him out and he will be sleeping with you until high school."

Since the first night, he has successfully slept in his bed with NO problems! I, of course, had to sleep with him the first night...just to make sure he was okay. :) I can't believe how easily this transition has been. I am not expecting EVERY transition to be this way. :) I have even tried to have him sleep with me in our bed for a nap or two, but he doesn't want to.

Here are a few pictures of the before and after. The pics are taken with my new Canon Rebel camera I got from Rob for Christmas. I am still playing around with it, but I LOVE IT!


He has to point and touch each letter in his name above his bed every night. And, has to sleep with a few DVD cases, and you HAVE to have the right ones.



I love his bedroom. I decorated it myself, excluding the paint job.

Here are a couple of pics of him in the bathtub and brushing his teeth. He actually likes to do that! What a great child we have been blessed with.
