We have been floating the idea of a big boy bed to James for about the past 6 or 7 months. He did it one night, but then he adamantly said "I sleep in crib". We had decided that after Christmas would be a good time to really try again, or we wouldn't get the chance to take it on until spring. It was really hard for us to push him since we like having him confined to the crib as much as he likes sleeping in it, but we will need the crib again soon for Benjamin. Sunday after nap time I again asked him (it was really a routine at this point) if he wanted to have a big boy bed and get rid of his crib and he said Yes! I couldn't believe it at first, but he insisted, so we sprung into action. I took him away to the store to buy some "special new sheets" while Gabe took down the crib and started the assembly of the bed. It took much longer than we would have liked to get it together, but it is done, James was thrilled and he has really taken charge of "being a big boy". So far he has done well, except that he would prefer to sleep with Noah... everyone is a little grouchy and sleep deprived, but luckily Noah is a good sport to put up with it and they both are very excited to have two big boy beds in their room. Next... where will the crib fit... who knows, we still have a few months to figure that out... stay tuned;)
