Big Boy Bed!

Reed has been crawling out of his crib for
months, but we just now converted his crib
to a big boy bed! He has always loved his
crib, so we weren't sure how he'd adjust.

When we would ask him if he wanted to have
a big boy bed, he would say "No!" We finally
convinced him it was time to have a big boy
bed, and now, he loves it!

Every time he gets into the bed,
he says, "Big boy bed" or "My big boy bed!"
He hasn't had any problems adjusting to it.

Reed sitting in his crib for the last time.

Climbing out of the crib one last time.

Making sure Daddy is watching him.
He loves to say "Watch this!"

He has mastered it!

Safe landing...

Daddy & Reed taking the crib apart.

Helping Daddy put the safety rail together.

This is hard work!

"Here you go Daddy!"

Check out Reed's tan lines.

Our next big boy step...the pacifier!!!

He's growing up too fast!
I am proud of him though, and I'm proud the transition has went smoothly.
I can't get over how tall he looks in the pics!

The things I learned at the knee of my daddy. The 'pappy' may take a little more work than the bed. Two is an interesting shift in personality when the mighty 'no' and the 'I can do it myself' makes parents have to do SOME BIG TIME ADJUSTING. You all are THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grandmama

I love that he says watch this and I also love his tan line :). I can't believe he is now big enough to have a big boy bed... I am glad he is taking it so well! Let me know tricks about losing the pacifier when you figure it out :)!
