My big boy bed

Since Saturday I have been sleeping in my big boy bed! It was in my room for a week before I actually go the nerve to SLEEP in it (we had been "reading and relaxing" in it, and I had been testing the springs by jumping up and down on it). But it is super cozy, and I love my flannel sheets with the moose on them. 

On Friday I decided not to nap, much to Mama's dismay, so on Saturday I was super tired come late morning, especially after eating 3 giant pancakes with syrup and 3 slices of bacon and several spoonfuls of Mama's yogurt for breakfast at the Belvedere Market. So I fell asleep while Mama was reading "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" to me. I spotted a picture of a little boy in a bed in the book and I pointed to it and said "he is sleeping in a big boy bed, just like me" then I took my blanket and turned away from the book. Mama got all my little stuffed animal friends that were in my crib - Frank the dog, Vladimir the crocodile, La Roux the kangaroo, and the Texas lion - and put them in the bed with us. I fell asleep before she could finish the book. I got a great 3 and a half hours of delicious slumber, then when I woke up I realized I could just go downstairs instead of waiting for someone to come get me! So I got out, opened the door and shouted out "I'm heee-reee!" I could hear Mama and Dada laughing downstairs, and they yelled up for me to come down so I did. They gave me lots of hugs and told me how proud they were of me. It was pretty cool. So now I'm sleeping in the bed every time! They said next I am going to have to start using the potty. I don't think so.
