My little boy's growing up

So while I was posting yesterday about my new Bissell, Andy fell out of his crib. What? Andy was still in a crib? Isn't he almost three? Yes, we've tried multiple times to convert it to the toddler bed, but it just freaked him out and he would either 1) not go to sleep or 2) fall asleep in exhaustion and then wake up screaming. So we put the gate back on. No big deal. He knew how to safely climb out of the crib, but something went wrong while he and Josh were supposed to be napping yesterday, and he fell. Thankfully there were no injuries.

Andy's bed was the light one on the left, Joshy's was on the right.

After the fall I got on craigslist and found a twin mattress with box spring, frame and headboard that someone was selling about a mile from my house. We went to check it out, liked it, brought it home, set it up and viola! My big boy has a big boy bed!

He loves it! I let him test out the bed before we bought it and give his approval, he choose some new yellow sheets (I chose the green ones in the photo--I didn't even walk down the aisle where the Lightning McQueen Sheets were), and helped me make the bed. He was pretty excited.

Josh is now in Andy's crib on the other side of the room since it is much more sturdy. I think the Feng Shui threw both of them off last night because they couldn't fall asleep even though they were both exhausted. Hopefully it will normalize soon.

I'm so proud of my big boy! He didn't wake up once in the night terrified in his new bed. We gave him lots of praise and hugs and kisses for being such a big boy.
