diaper wedgies and big boy beds

i love your diaper wedgies.  soon the diapers will be gone too.

we said goodbye to your crib this weekend.  it was tough for me.

time moves fast.  i know this.

what will i do when you're not two?

can one person be addicted to another?

i think i'm addicted to you.

you were so excited for your "surprise" and thought it was super neat that sissy could read books to you in YOUR bed.

she was so excited she took you to brush your teeth and brought you back up for bedtime.

she wanted to tuck you in and be the first to bid you good night.

i had to put you in bed 9 times total that first night.  you were scared.  change is hard.  after the 9th time, i heard a tired "mommy ..." from your bedroom and then silence.  as i walked down the stairs i choked back my tear.  i was sad knowing there would be no more picking you up out of your crib.  my favorite part of the day.  but, guess what? the next morning through the monitor i hear "mommy! momma! mommy!" ... you sat on your bed and waited for me as you've done every day since then.  we say "good morning" to each other, kiss and hug.  i say "did you sleep good?" and you say "yes."  

you're clearly a lot more comfortable in this new big bed.  it provides the space you need for your larger than average body and a nice soft pillow to give you the perfect bed head each and every morning.   you haven't fallen out of bed once and since that first night, you haven't gotten out of bed once.  you're playing in your room more and love to run and jump on your bed.

i'm glad you like it.

i like you.

love,

momma
