Big Kid Bed

"I WANT TO SLEEP IN THE BIG KID BED!"

And so proclaimed Matthew last night, as we were setting up his room for his first sleepover (with Ellie). As he hasn't tried to escape his crib yet, we haven't had a reason to put him in a real bed. But with Ellie in one, he had to be in one too. We weren't sure how it would go, but figured it would either go well, or he'd refuse to relax and we'd have to put him in the crib. Since the latter was a possibility anyway just because of the sleepover, we figured what the heck.

But it worked great. He slept all night in the bed, napped this afternoon, and now he's (hopefully) asleep on it for the second night in a row. I'm torn - I love that my little man is growing up, but there was a certain comfort in knowing that he was locked up in the crib, unable to roam around at night. As soon as he figures out he's free, we could be in trouble...
