The "Big Boy Bed" Milestone has Arrived!

The day finally arrived just a month before his 4th birthday. Jack graduated from his crib to a big boy bed. While a year or two behind several of his contemporaries Jack was quite content in his crib and never jumped out so we went with it. We figured it was about time though so we snapped up a mattress at Costco, pulled the conversion kit purchased 18 months ago out of the garage and got to work.

Here's the before picture featuring Jack's beloved weasel and dinosaur.

Jack was super excited about his big boy bed and hovered around yelping in excitement during each step. This meant he was close by to give his crib mattress a good-bye hug!

Finally - the deed was done. His new "full size" bed was ready. We felt it was surprisingly tall figured he could grow into it (an hopefully not fall out of it!)

We have been branding the "rules of the big-boy bed" into his head for weeks now and he can repeat them with ease. They are:

1. Don't get out of the big-boy bed unless you need to go to the bathroom
2. Don't go into your sister's room
3. Don't get out of the big-boy bed until your night light "sun" turns on

We'll see how it goes. After brushing his teeth tonight Jack excitingly run to his bed and pulled himself up only to find his sis waiting for him!

After giving her a kiss and hug he finally snuggled in himself.









Good night from one more "big boy" in Folsom.
