Caleb's Big Boy Bed

We moved Caleb to a big bed a couple of months ago. He was looking so big and uncomfortable in that crib. We did some major rearranging that day. We bought a new king for us, gave Ethan our queen, and gave Caleb Ethan's full. Poor thing didn't have a comforter until a few weeks ago when I finally bought one. Next we are going to buy him a night stand.

I can't get him still enough to take a pic of him in his bed so I took one when he was napping. Please excuse the purple sheets, it was laundry day. :-)

Overall he has been doing well staying in his bed. Of course, that is probably because we are in it with him! As soon as it's time for bed he grabs my hand and says, "Lay with me!" We had to do that with Ethan for about 6 months and I wasn't looking forward to doing it again. But I don't want to be yelling at him every night to go back to bed. I'll wait a few more months to enforce the sleeping alone rule. I've tried to have him lay with Ethan but Ethan usually kicks him out within 5 minutes because he moves too much and takes forever to fall asleep. I'm like, ya, tell me about it! I lay with him for 45min-1 hour until he is asleep. Then I get up and get ready for bed myself. It's exhausting and annoying that I don't have my "me" time or my time with Mondo. But, I keep telling myself that he is my last baby and I won't be laying with him till he's 18...at least I hope not!

I am so not looking forward to transitioning Carson to a big bed!I know I will be doing the same thing you are-laying down with him until we both fall asleep!
