Big boy bed!

Last weekend, we decided it was time to introduce Theo to a big boy bed. We had inherited this blue race car bed from friends, and we set it up sneakily in his rom while he ate Sunday afternoon. We brought him upstairs, and it was like love at first site. He literally walked around it and ran his hand across it like a guy considering buying a sports car. Blue cars are his favorites, too, and the phrase was repeated over and over again in all the excitement. I did not expect Theo to be ready to give up on his crib, but when posed with the question of where he wanted to sleep that night, it was immediate. Blue car! Much to my surprise, there was no adjustment period. He fell asleep quickly and stayed asleep all night. Nap time the next day, same thing. I guess he was ready. The next day, I asked Theo if he was ready for us to take the crib out of his room, and he said yeah! So Theo got to help me take apart his old crib; doing projects with Mama with tools is one of his favorite things. I asked, since he didn't need his crib anymore, if it was ok if we let the new baby use it, and should we move it into the new baby's room? He was all for it. Thus, step one accomplished of getting Theo's buy in on new stuff for him and giving the old stuff to the baby!
