As the subject implies, yesterday, Big Christian turned LC’s crib into a toddler bed. Wow! It was so exciting. LC and I watched Dad do the transformation. LC had so much fun climbing in and climbing out during the process. So last night at bedtime, apparently LC was super tired. Thank goodness. He didn’t put up any fuss going to bed at all. I laid him down and covered him with a sheet and tucked him in. He was surrounded by his bears and cloth blocks. I rubbed him head, kissed him good night and walked out of the room. I couldn’t resist peaking in on him through the door crack. The room was very dark, I could barely make out shadows. I watched him as he rolled over, sat up, laid back down, hugged big bear, kicked off the sheet, sat back up again and laid back down again. Then he turned on his aquarium. With the soft light of the aquarium I had a great view of him now. Unfortunately, he just laid there and picked his nose, both nostrils. After he cleaned house, he seemed to settle in for the night. I heard him roll over a few more times, but he never tried getting out. He slept great! I slept terrible. I woke up every 1 or 2 hours to check on him. Every time I looked in he was just as cute and cuddly as could be in his big boy bed. I got up for good around 6:15. He was still asleep. I took the quickest shower of my life and checked on him again. He was awake, but still all snug under the covers in his bed. He was talking in “soft voice” and hugging big bear. Then he sat up and reached his arms up to me. I sat down on the floor and said “you can climb out”. In hindsight I should have lifted him up. I wonder if he stayed in bed all night because he didn’t realize he could get out himself. We’ll find out tonight. Something tells me we could have a wondering little man tonight.

Does baby wander at night? NO! Baby didn’t wander at all last night. He slept good. He nearly slept until 7am. I checked on him a few times before and after my shower and he just slept. After I dried my hair, I went in to find him awake, lying in his bed watching his aquarium as if he was waiting for me to come get him. What a good little boy! I’m still very aware that the more comfortable he gets with the bed the more likely he will be to venture out of it on his own.

My son still amazes me! I think LC loves his big boy bed. He slept through the storm we had last night that caused us to lose power from midnight to about 7am. I was actually dialing Matt’s number this morning when our power turned back on. Anyway, back to the babe. This morning I heard him kicking in his bed around 6:45. I got up and took a shower. The whole time he was in his bed. After my shower I walked in to check on him. He was sitting up waiting for me. I asked him for a hug and kiss. He stuck his feet in my face. So I kissed the toes and the feet. Then he climbed out of bed to play. He’s such a good boy when it comes to his big boy bed.
