Garytt's Big Boy Bed

On Wednesday, September 19, we decided to move all the beds over to the new house and start sleeping here. The movers weren't scheduled until the following Saturday, but we were eager to get out of the tight living quarters and hearing the neighbors alarm clock go off well before I had to get up. So, we moved the beds over and converted Garytt's crib into a toddler bed. We had talked to Garytt about the fact that once we moved into the new house he would get to sleep in a "big boy" bed. So, he was super excited! First, he had to test it out.

Then he hopped out of bed and jumped around the room in excitement!

After he celebrated having his new big boy bed, we asked him to get back in bed and show us how he was going to sleep. He was so cute, he hopped right in bed and closed his eyes...then started to snore...too funny!

I have to say, I was a little unsure how smoothly the transition would go considering it was a transition into a new house and a new bed. But he did amazingly well! It took a little bit for the novelty of being able to get up and open the door to wear off but then he slept in his bed all night...well, except for the few times that he fell out of bed!

Even that didn't cause any problems! We would hear a thud and then some noise and by the time we made it upstairs to check on him, he was back in his bed and asleep! I couldn't have asked for a better transition! Garytt is really turning into a big boy!
