Big Boy Bed

Alyssa and I have been dragging our feet on moving Benjamin out of his crib.  He was happy in there and wouldn’t climb out on his own, even though we were both sure he could.  Then one day I asked him to climb out, which both Alyssa and I did on occasion, and he hopped right over the rail.  So the next day Alyssa switched his crib to a bed. The video below shows how Benjamin felt about the change:

Benjamin jumps into bed.

At naptime, Benjamin enjoys being in his bed so much he doesn’t want to get up.  Although who can blame him when it is 7 degrees out.  At bedtime, he stays in bed while going to sleep.  Although it usually involves him playing, talking to himself, and asking me to “rub back, twinkle me” also known as rubbing his back and singing his favorite songs (Frère Jacques, 5 Green and Speckled Frogs, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Wheels on the Bus). 

It was both an exciting and sad day for Alyssa and I as we moved our little boy out of his crib.
