The BIG move

This past weekend, we transitioned Pierce to his new room and a "big boy bed." He has done beautifully! I had been hyping it up for a long time and of course, by Friday night, Pierce made the change as if it was no big deal at all. Although pretty type A (I'd guess) and particular about a lot of things, he can be quite flexible. I appreciate that quality!

His new room is not nearly complete, yet, but I at least had the bed done up and the drawers and closet (mostly) empty, so we figured we'd go for it. There really wasn't a huge rush, but we want him to have enough time to get used to the new set-up before the baby is born. Additonally, we have several trips planned this summer and it would be much easier for him to sleep in a regular bed instead of the pack-n-play (which I think is way too small for him now anyway).

The first night, he fell out of the bed around 5:30 on Saturday morning. Shaun heard it first and ran to his rescue (and I mean ran!). He easily fell right back to sleep until 8:00. His naps over the weekend were almost non-existent (even though he was clearly wiped out!), but he has napped like a champ all week so far. We have no toys in his room and he knows not to get out of the bed until we come and get him.

And on Saturday morning when he first woke up. We all survived!! :)

There's quite a bit more decorating that I'd like to do in his new room and we'll get to that. And now, I can start getting the nursery ready for a baby again! :)
