A few days after T's second birthday I caught him cuddling with Paddington while checking on him at night and decided to document the moment, and I'm so glad I did. Little did I know (and little did he know) that this would be his last night in a crib.The next night he went to bed in his crib, as normal...but he decided not to go to sleep. Instead, he completely undressed himself, diaper and all, and peed ALL over the place. Then started yelling, "Uh-oh. Mommy." To say I was shocked when I walked in the room is an understatement. This was his first time undressing himself...I didn't even know he knew how! He kept shrugging his shoulders and saying, "Take diaper off. Take jama's off." I cleaned him up, stripped the crib mattress, and then decided that instead of re-making his bed I would just put him in the big-boy toddler bed (which has been set-up for weeks now). He LOVED/LOVES it.
It's been a few days in the big boy bed and the transition has luckily been a breeze (so far, knock on wood). He loves to tell people he sleeps in a big boy bed, and he reminds me every night that he's a big boy in a big boy bed. What a stud!
Now the big boy bed is all T's and the crib can be prepared for sweet baby #2. Now if only we could make potty-training that easy!
You are so lucky! Except for the whole having to clean up pee part :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go T! Isn't it so funny to see their tiny bodies in those huge beds? I'm with ya on the whole potty training thing, we've had a few easy days and some more lazy days. Good luck to you getting 1 out of diapers in time for the next, I think I ran out of time on that one. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post, I'm glad that you took that picture, each step in the growing up process is so sweet!
