New Year, New Bed

In a few short months, Eli will be experiencing a lot of changes. New baby brother, sharing a room, sharing mom and dad, saying bye bye to diapers (I hope), etc. So we're getting an early start and trying to to do the newness in baby steps. Sunday marked the beginning of sleeping on a big boy bed. We bought a twin mattress that is just on the floor for now. The part we didn't count on was that Eli would get sick that same night (fever:102 and some molars coming in) but he never asked to be in his old bed, so we went with it. It was sleepless to say the least, but I don't think it was the beds fault. In a few weeks we're going to give potty training a good try. Mommy's a little sad to see her baby growing up, but it's sweet too. The growing up of children is the definition of bittersweet. 

Last night in crib

Tonight in his bed. I can't believe he's using his pillow here. He normally just hides under it or pushes it off the bed.
