Sweet Success!!!

So it is official! Benson has slept in his big boy bed for four days in a row without coming out, even at nap time! See previous post to really enjoy my new excitement. Hallelujah! He gets so excited to climb up in his bed by himself, and lays down with a huge grin on his face! YAAA! The other night I took him in his room and said "Benson, do you want to sleep in your big boy bed or your crib?" He looked at both and the said, "crib, baby" Which means the crib is for babies and I am a big boy now! Needless to say I am grateful he made this decision sooner than later, and now we just need Parker to get on a great schedule and then I can have my room back.

The picture has nothing to do with his bed, but I thought it was cute!

Congratulations! What a big step. It's good that it has rails, our boys always fall out a couple of times in the middle of the night, before they really get the hang of it! Good luck on the schedule and getting your room back too.

Way to go Benson! I remember this same excitement. I think there was more anxiety on my end though. Aden was ready...what big boy wouldn't want to sleep in a big boy bed?!
