A major transition

We decided that instead of buying a whole new set of nursery furniture, we would just move all of Dylan's furniture (crib, mattress, changing table, dresser) to the new nursery. This means that Dylan would need new furniture in his room and we would have to move him into a full size bed. We feel guilty that the baby will be getting hand-me-down furniture, BUT what are we going to do with two sets of nursery furniture? We promise to make it up to the baby in some other way. =)

Tonight begins that transition. Mommy found the perfect beddings to match Dylan's room (no need to repaint the room) and Daddy moved the crib to the side to make room for the full mattress. Those that have slept in the same bed as Dylan knows that he often ends up at the foot of the bed. So at this point, we only wanted the mattress on the floor, then we'll slowly add the box spring and the headboard/rails.

We wished we had the video camera to capture Dylan's reaction. He was so happy to have his big boy bed . Like any 2 year old, he wouldn't stop jumping on the bed. He also kept saying, "I like it" and "sleep on Dylan's bed" .

Hopefully this transition to a full size bed will be easy on all of us.

We had to sneak in the room after he fell asleep to take some pictures.

he looks so tiny in that bed big

of course, he has to have his pillow, blanket and elmo.
