Big Boy Bed for the Big Boy

My plan was to finish potty training Elliot, then move him to the ‘big boy bed’, but sometimes our plans as mothers don’t always work out the way we envision them in our heads… like this plan of mine! 🙂

We’ve decided to put the potty training on hold…Elliot has mastered the going pee part, and gets a 100% for that, and is excellent at staying clean and dry with that part..but the rest? I’d give him a 5%, his bowels are like clockwork and if I remember to help him, he makes it to the potty evertyime, but he just is not aware of the rest of his body, and I don’t want to be in charge of that, I want him to learn to be aware, so we decided to wait a little longer to finish the job, until he can maybe understand a little better what his body is trying to tell him 🙂

Tangent. Sorry about that.

Anyways, the time came that we wanted to put up this toddler bed for Elliot. And let me tell you, he loves his bed, and so proud of himself when he sleeps in it– and as you can see his obsession with having lots of his blankets has continued, as well as having his friends (stuffed animals) with him when he sleeps.

He also has taken to putting his guys on each post of his bed before his afternoon nap. Just makes me laugh when I see all 4 of them on his posts.

And he has done TERRIFIC with his new bed, and had no problems whatsoever, I love when things go so easily like that!

Now the crib is all ready for Lorelei, which is a good thing, because she’s almost outgrown her bassinet!
