Caleb's Toddler Bed

My little boy is growing up!

He is completely potty trained; he has recently been brushing his own teeth (he puts on the toothpaste);

he has been dressing himself.

And now, he has been sleeping in a Toddler Bed!!!

These pictures are from his first night in the bed, July 3rd.

He must have been completely exhausted because he fell asleep and stayed in bed all night!

Well, sadly, that only lasted for 3 nights!

Then the battle began . . .he would get up & come find me, then back to bed, he would get up, back to bed.

One night this pattern went on for 7 straight times!

So back to the crib we went . . .

I don't remember having these issues with Sarah - she has always been one that needs her sleep, much like her Mom!  Once she goes to bed - it's lights out!  I guess she spoiled me!

Now, a couple weeks after having to sleep back in the crib, he has slept in his "big boy bed" for the last 4 nights without getting out of bed once!  Brandon has been wonderful with helping me transition Caleb to the "big boy bed!"  I guess when Daddy speaks, he listens.

Caleb is so cute in the morning, running into our room!

This morning he was pulling his blanket, carrying his small green John Deere pillow and his stuffed giraffe.

I love hearing his happy voice in the morning, especially when he gets excited and says "Good morning, Mommy!  I did it. I stayed in my bed all night!"
