big boy

mason is spending his first night in a toddler bed. we took the side off his crib and converted it into a toddler bed this afternoon. mason (and madelyn) were very excited about this change. we wanted to give him some time to adjust to a 'bed' before we move him into his 'big' bed in madelyn's room next month.

we tried to put him down for a late nap this afternoon but i think he only slept for about 30 minutes - if that long. he took a long morning nap and normally wouldn't have taken an afternoon nap if we put him down so late so it wasn't too surprising. i could hear him walking around while crying, but he seemed to get back into the bed and quiet down.

here he is showing his favorite part - getting in and out of the bed.

he would just climb in, jump on the bed, climb out, run, smiling, to hug our legs, and go back to climb in again. over and over and over.

he did cry and roam around before settling down tonight. and i thought that i heard him fall out of bed once while i was reading to madelyn, but he quieted back down and when we checked the video monitor he was in the bed.

we will see how it goes. love.
