Big boy bed

Well tonight was the night. Goodbye crib and hello big boy bed. The bed is my old one from my parents house and it's been in his room since he was born and he loves to play on it but would never sleep there. I'd been talking to Brendan for awhile about how if the crib broke one day he'd have to sleep in the bed. He's been sleeping in a bed at my parents house for months so I know he's ready. Today I told him the crib was broken and I was going to try and fix it, i.e. I took the crib rail off while he was watching and told him that now it's broken forever.

So now he's in the bed. He was very excited about reading books in there and going to bed. He got a little teary at first and called for me to come back a few times. I went and gave him kisses and then left. And he lay on the pillow under the blankets. And he's barely moved since. It took him awhile to fall asleep, but he'd only said Mommy come back a few times. And he's been sleeping peacefully since. Fx, we have a good night.
