Well, we've put it off all summer but we've finally done it...Kaelan is officially out of a crib. Monday night we took the front piece of his crib off and replaced it with the guardrail. Well, believe it or not, he has not once tried to get out of bed. In fact, he seems to realize it's his "big boy" bed and it makes him proud. The guardrail has a place for a cup of water, a nightlight he can push on and off himself, and even pockets for books. With all that, why would you want to leave your bed? Apparently he doesn't cuz each night we keep expecting him to come sliding down the stairs but instead we find him sleeping soundly. Here are some pictures to prove it!
This is a shot of his very first night after falling asleep peacefully. I know it looks like his head is stuck but it really wasn't. Trust me, I checked on it numerous times to be sure and somehow my inspecting didn't disturb him at all. He woke up the next morning at his usual time and still didn't get out of bed. I found him happily playing with his two Mickeys leaning against the back of his bed. Is he amazing or what!!!!
Night 2 soundily asleep.
This is how I found him this morning (Wednesday 8/12). I had to get him up a little earlier than usual because it was my first day of work (HOORAY!). Luckily he doesn't have to get up nearly as early as he did last year because his school is much closer now. We are SO proud of our little, "big boy".
