Big Boy Room!!!

Last weekend, after buying the mattress for Isaac's new bed, he unexpectedly announced that he wanted to sleep in his big boy bed. We didn't really have the room ready yet except for the basic furniture and wall paint but he was determined to, in his words, "sleep in big boy bed now." So without Scott or I being mentally ready for this HUGE step we went ahead with Isaac's enthusiasm and he slept in his big boy bed for the first time on May 1, 2001!

All in all he's done fantastic! The only big issue we had was rest time for a couple of days. (I solved that with a child-safe door knob cover, :-)) Well, and this morning when he woke up crying/screaming. I walked in and at first couldn't find him. He was wedged between the bed and the night stand. How he managed that I have no idea but he was, rightly so, freaked out and scared, as were Scott and I. Poor little guy.

Tomorrow night will be the end of his first week in the big boy bed and really, we are amazed at how easily he has made the adjustment to the new room and new bed. He's such a big boy now!
The following pictures are of the moving in process and his room so far. Isaac has helped every step of the way...
