Austin's New Room and Big Boy Bed

Monday July 28th

So this last weekend we were busy switching Austin from his "baby" room to his new "big boy room". After looking at a few stores I found a sports bedding that I thought was cute. Craig on the other hand thought that would be boring and had his heart set on Superman bedding (cause Austin would really like that according to him). So we went to the last store in Bartlesville and luckily their was no Superman bedding but their was Spiderman bedding that caught Craig's eye.

So.....Sports or Spiderman?

We decided to compromise---and went with the Disney Cars bedding. Actually it probably fits Austin's personality the best since he loves playing with his toy cars.

This is the border we put around his room. Thought it went up pretty easy but a few hours later it started falling off the wall. Not even a little scotch tape held it up either. So right now it is being held up by push pins till we go back and staple gun it to the wall. Who knew a border would be so difficulty?

With Austin's new room it also meant attempting to break him of his crib and try to get him into a "big boy bed". Now this little guy loves his crib. If he is really tired he will walk up to his crib and raise his hands up in the air and beg to be put in. And most of the time he doesn't let me rock him but just wiggles until I put him in his crib and then he is still and goes to sleep. So last night I layed down next to him and sang him primary songs until he shut his eyes. Then I went to bed hoping for the best. Everything went good until about 3 o'clock in the morning when I heard a "thud" followed by a "whaa". Went into his room and he was laying belly down on the floor with his head raised up crying. His bed is only about a foot or two from the ground so the crying was more from the shock of falling off the bed then actually getting hurt. So I got back to sleep in his bed and he did great until morning. Good job Austin....hopefully this won't be as difficult as I thought. We'll see......
