So, something big happened in our house this weekend. My son, who will be 3 in May, finally made the switch from crib, to big boy bed! Insert mommy tears here. Now, I know you sanctimommies are thinking "you just now switched him over?" And the answer to that is a big, fat, FUCK YES.
It was working for us. If he wasn't super duper tall like his daddy, he'd still be in his crib. He's climbed out twice. Twice! That's it! For you non-parentals, a crib is a great way to keep a child contained. And if anyone has a child like mine, who does not listen, does not sit still, and has the attention span of a gnat, a crib is magical thing you never want to go away. When I needed a shower, I would just turn on his cartoons and plop his little booty in his crib. Boom! There's 10-15 minutes to myself for a nice hot shower.
I started to notice however, that when he was sleeping, he was always in these weird positions. It just looked uncomfortable. He was just too long for his little baby crib and it was time.
So we went and bought the first mattress we looked at. (WTF???) I know. But it was comfortable, I wasn't in the mood to deal with cheesy mattress salesman guy, and Jack hadn't napped that day. It was a little more expensive than I thought it would be, but this will easily last him 10+ years. Oh, did I mention its a full size bed he's in? We skipped the toddler bed completely. His crib was a conversion crib, and the toddler bed was no bigger than his crib. So full size it is!
Night 1 went great actually. Until about 4-5am, he started crying and would not go back to sleep (poor sick baby). So we brought him into our room and we was OUT until like 930. Bliss!
Night 2 was good. He made some weird sound pretty much all night (still sick) and I had no idea when he woke up. He didn't make a peep. What did wake me up was him climbing out the doggy door with my husbands golf clubs. I caught him halfway out. Phew!
This is night 3. So far, we have (and when I say we, I really mean my wonderful husband) has been trying to put him down for almost 2 hours now. I think its going to be a looooonnnnnnnnng night.
Sorry for the not so great pics, iphone. Nuff said. Anyway, we don't have his room figured out yet because a full size bed is HUGE!
Oh! I totally went to Sephora and got the ingrown hair goop, so I'll report in a few days! I also had a kick ass workout tonight, be proud of me!
