At the ripe age of 2, I'm sure we are in the same boat as many other parents when we are thinking of getting these toddlers out of those cribs (or our bed in our case) and into their very own Big Boy Bed!
Since we haven't bought sheets or anything yet, please ignore the mismatched bedding and what not.
We drug our feet a little on this. I'm not going to lie, cuddling with your baby every night is pretty awesome. I do partially blame us, but it's time to put our foot down.
We started working on the nursery, which also meant we were working on Zeke's new big boy bed and new room. Yes, he switched rooms. We decided on vintage cars and it has now turned in to vintage transportation to include cars, planes, trains, gas stations, etc.
My mom and I made a ridiculously huge mess painting one Friday night without laying down a tarp thing. Oops! White carpets are supposed to have blue spots all over them, right? Brandon was not too happy with us!
After the paint dried and the carpets were cleaned it was time to set up the big boy bed. We had a really difficult time deciding if we wanted to convert the crib or just buy a new bed. Did we want Zeke to have a full size mattress that we already had or a normal twin size mattress. We decided to convert the crib with the full size mattress we already had. It was probably the most cost effective and sensible idea to go with.
He has been doing great in it. At first he was waking up at 11, 1, and 5 every night or he would switch off with those times. I was originally picking him up and putting him in bed with us, but realized we were getting no where fast with my laziness so now I pick him up and head back to his room with him. It works good, except for the dreadful 5AM wake up calls requesting to go downstairs immediately. Hopefully time will fix that as well.
Once everything is hung in his room I'll give you a tour.
