Big Boy Bed

While Whitney, Joe and Ashton were here we had to make the required trip to Ikea. To avoid having to go there again anytime in the near future we took advantage of the occasion to buy Ian a big boy bed. He did a good job of jumping on every bed in the place while shouting gleefully "Bed Bed" to test them for durablility and function. We picked one that expands from a shorter toddler bed to a twin size. He loves it! When we got it set up he spent a bunch of time nesting. He brought all of his trucks, trains and cars into the bed and set them up on both the head and foot boards. Then once he got them all arranged just so he proceeded to launch them onto the floor. The first night in the bed was a little rough. My theory is that it was because we removed the night light in the process and put the bed in with his head facing the opposite direction of where it was with his crib. After fixing this, last night he slept like a champ. It was so cute to have him get up by himself and walk into our room this morning and say "Hi". I'm sure it won't be so cute when it's 4am but this was a reasonable 6:30. We were already up and about (or at least I was).
