Goodbye Baby Crib

In keeping with our summer of change plan, phase one has begun--Goodbye Baby Crib.

We are starting a few weeks before summer school so T isn't facing too much change at once. Our winters are a crush of colds, tummy bugs and flus, so this is the best time to move out of the crib and do away with the souska. S  here we go.

I picked up the crib at Target (of course) and it is a flimsy thing, but I don't think we will use it too long. T is pretty big and dwarfs the crib mattress. If I could have found an affordable twin low to the ground with sides, I'd have bought it. Ah, well. Probably we'll upgrade to a twin from Ikea in the future.

Anyway, I bought two red pillow and a red blanket so he could have a "big boy bed" like Skippy Jon Jones, one of his heroes. He was jazzed beyond belief, when he saw his new bed and planets stickers on the walls. He dashed around the room yelling:
 
"I have a big boy room now! No more baby crib!"  
 
The excitement continued even after I tucked him in, but he managed to pass out within twenty minutes--right in bed!

T was so excited that he brought a quantity of books and toys into his new space!
