There are pictures coming, but we wanted to share tonight's big news: Eli is in his big boy bed! He was so excited about it and talked about it all afternoon... until he was tucked in and the lights went out.
Then he said in a tiny little voice, "Mommy, maybe I sleep in baby bed?" Argh.
It might have been heartbreaking if Kevin and I had not spent a big chunk of the afternoon assembling the big boy bed and wearing ourselves (and possibly our marriage) out in the process. What is it about children's furniture that makes it so challenging to assemble?
In the end, he did decide to stay in his big boy bed with his friends Baby, Puppy and blanket. He looks very cute and very small in it, funny, because he looks like a big beast in his crib. He's been asleep for a couple of hours now.
So I will take this opportunity to hit my own big girl bed! Good night!
