Changes……
So it’s hard to believe that my “baby” will be turning 2 years old in less than a month. I mean really, where the heck did the time go? I now believe people when they say “enjoy every moment” because those moments come and go FAST!
I remember when we moved Andrew into his crib at just 6 weeks old. He slept in a pack and play in our room those first few weeks. I remember him looking so small in that crib and how strange it felt to have him in his own room. I hardly slept a wink that night, but he slept through the whole night!! Yes, my kiddo started sleeping through the night at just 6 weeks old. (I can only pray that his little sister will follow the same pattern!)
Now that we’re closing in on little sis’ arrival we wanted to start transitioning Andrew into a big bed so that sis could use the crib. The thought of the two of them sharing a room makes me shudder…..I have no idea how it’s going to work, but in the end I know it all will. We were fortunate enough to be able to borrow a toddler bed from the Mission and Kev moved it in earlier today. We had to do some major shifting as the room isn’t that big, but I think we came up with a plan. We made a big deal out of the bed and even put his special Cars (or Speed) bedding. He crawled right up into that bed with Pooh, like nothing. We had a bit of a battle (mainly due to some tummy issues) and even busted him playing quietly on the floor with some toys, but all in all…..he’s taking his first nap in the bed.
I’ll admit, I got just as sentimental as I did with the crib. The thought of him not sleeping in it anymore…uh. And now in that big bed, he looks so small again……..I guess we’ll see what happens tonight…..hopefully we won’t have a roamer around the house!
