Sleep progress

I got a raise people!

[doing the happy dance]

But the thing is that I've been SO, SO, SO insanely busy. I work on the computer. So at the end of my day? The last thing I've been wanting to do is sit any longer in front of a computer.

But with my raise? I bought......the Bear a brand new bed!

Actually, it's not here yet. It'll be hear in another week. It's a platform bed with 6 drawers underneath. I've decided to by-pass the headboard for now. I do believe the photo below is a KING size. My little guy will have only one stack of drawers under the platform. So 3 drawers on each side. I didn't want it high off the ground. He's a jumper!


I've also got a mattress on the way. It's one of those foam ones. Since he's not going to have a box spring underneath him I thought it would be more comfy.

He has NO idea that his bed is on the way. I'm sure he'll be excited when he sees it though. I mean...I am excited for him. He so needs a bigger bed (we got him a full-size). I mean he's 3-1/4 years old!

I'm sure a lot of you are wondering WHY we waited so long to graduate him to a real bed. Right now he's in the converted crib -- in a toddler bed. When we converted him, we wanted to be sure that he'd stay IN the bed all night even though he had the ability to get down and roam. Roam around upstairs. And our bedroom is downstairs.

So now he's past the test. He stays in the bed when he wakes up. And he calls for us.

"Mom?" "Dad?"

Then we go upstairs and greet him with smiles and kisses.

I'll let you know in a couple weeks how the transition went from toddler bed to BIB BOY bed.

Now what linens am I going to get....hmmm...
