My Big Boy

I let my baby grow up today. Not my little baby. He still needs to stay a baby for awhile longer. But I let Jack grow up today. For the first 3 and almost a half years he's been sleeping in a crib, and today I asked if he'd rather sleep in a big boy bed. He said yes, and he was really excited. It all started by me wanting to clean up his room some. He's had storage bins and boxes sitting around for awhile and I wanted to put them away and so I decided to do some rearranging. The crib didn't look good where I wanted to put it, but I thought his toddler bed would look good there. And so I asked him. Then we did it. He stayed in it just fine during nap and didn't get up until I came and got him. He also gave up his binky today. He hasn't been sucking on it for a long time because it has holes in it. But he didn't want to give it up before and he also didn't even care that he couldn't suck on it. So I asked him if he would give it up since now he sleeps in a big boy bed and binkies are for babies. At first he wasn't too sure about it, but then he said he could give it to Jordan because that would be nice. So he gave it to him and Jordan was happy to have it. I didn't let Jordan sleep with it though. It is a broken binky. Here's the change:

Loved reading the updates. The boys are growing up. Cute red bed for the big boy. We miss watching the growth. Baby girl is coming into a lovely loving home. You look great. I admire your ambition at 8 month pregnant. Love to all of you.
