Gabe went to get Tyler Sunday morning and found him hanging outside his crib. ::sigh:: The day I've been dreading. His crib is a 3 in 1 so all we have to do is take down one side and put up a bar and voila-toddler bed. We went to Wal-mart and bought a safety guard rail and super cool Spiderman sheets...even a pillow. He went down for his nap like a champ. Got out of bed once, but heard Gabe (who was watching from the door) so he jumped back into bed and went to sleep. That night was a little harder...He didn't want to be laid down by me, just kept jumping up with his arms up...ACK! I called Daddy in and he took over and, of course, the boy laid right down and went to sleep (why is that?!?) AND slept until 7:30!! Big boy...
So I had a little cry fest while Gabe watched Rambo. I know...it seems corny that I would be upset because my little tiny baby is now a little boy. Did I mention Gabe insisted on giving him his first hair cut on the SAME DAY as the big boy bed?!? I swear, he's trying to kill me! So, not only did he go to bed in a toddler bed, but he went to bed with no more baby curls. :(
Monday is a new day and I'm super proud of my little man. After a shower, I discover not only are his little curls back, but they've multiplied!! Bwahhahaha I laugh at Gabe. You can't control or cut them. Take that! ... and I am so happy. :) Until nap time today. Not good. No Gabe for back up and being the stern daddy. Just me, who's apparently helpless, and Tyler who knows exactly what buttons to push (buttons including sobbing, banging on the door and calling for "Mooom(gasp)mmmyyyyy"). Yeah, it was bad. I finally go in and rock him (he's still my baby) and he passes out from sheer exhaustion...Hey, throwing a fit is hard work! Sleeps on those dang Spiderman sheets for 2 1/2 hours. I'm still mad at Gabe for being at work (the nerve!)
I'm uploading pictures of our big boy day and will post them ASAP!
