Big Boy Bed
I really need to journal more often. I can't believe it's been four weeks since my last update. Elizabeth is awesome at 'pulling up' to standing. She hardly needs to use her hands at all anymore. She's also started cruising this week and loves to let go and freestand, then slowly lower herself to her bottom. We've also started giving her baths in the big bath a couple weeks ago. Xander doesn't really like sharing the tub with her but, she LOVES it.
But, this entry was inspired by Xander. When I went to take him out of his crib after his nap yesterday he nearly flipped out of it. So, curious, I measured him and he's at least 35 inches, which is the height limit for the crib. Rather than wait for him to actually flip out of the crib and maybe hurt himself, I decided to change his crib over to the transitional bed. Last night was his first night and he did really well. He got out of bed once, right after I put him down. I heard the doorknob twisting. LOL So, I went in, put him back down and he stayed in bed the rest of the night, though we did have to go down a couple times in the middle of the night to comfort him. When I checked on him before going to bed he was in the corner right next to the wall. I'm not sure if he was afraid of falling out or if that's just the position he wanted to be in (sometimes he does that). He stayed in bed a little extra this morning after waking up and then came out when he was ready, handing me his binky (he's only allowed a pacifier when sleeping). 2 years and 3 months. He's growing up!
