Sunday night

We got Vincent his birthday big boy bed this weekend- only six months late. Good thing he can't read a calendar and is easily distracted! ;-) It was a great success. Though when we were taking apart his crib, he wanted us to set it up in the living room. He took a nap in it yesterday for the first sleep, and we went off to spend a couple of hours at the mall getting new cell phones (why, why does it always take at least two hours to do this? It took Robbie THREE HOURS when his phone was stolen!). Anyway, V woke up before we got back and Uncle Robbie took care of him for a few minutes, but V had a terrific nap and was totally happy about his new room.

Before he went to bed last night for the first time, he asked if he could get up by himself in the morning. I'm thinking that this is how it starts and next thing I know he'll be standing next to me at 4 a.m. asking for cereal, but I said, Yup, you can get up by yourself in the morning. And he got really sad and said but I don't WANT to get up ALONE! Of course I told him I would come get him up in the morning, same as always, he didn't HAVE to get up alone. So we dodged the bullet there, for the time being.

So I got him up this morning, and he was so excited about the whole thing, he asked, Can I keep my big boy bed? It was adorable. So good times around here. Can't wait for our camera to arrive so I can show off his new room.
