A Big Boy in a Big Boy Bed

It's a bittersweet day today as Brody made the official move from the "baby's" room into his new big boy room. I'm so proud of Kevin for building Brody a whole new room, and so excited at how it all turned out. We still have some stuff to do - refinishing a dresser, new quilts for the bed - but last night we set up the bed and today we moved all his stuff except his clothes. It was so sweet to see him running back & forth from his old room to his new room with stuffed animals and trucks and books, making sure all his treasures moved with him. And he kept finding little baby toys or blankets as we dug through his closet, and reminding me that "These for the baby, Mommy."


After his bath tonight, he climbed right into bed with Daddy and read his book, then snuggled in and played with his animals for a little bit before falling sound asleep - just like a "big boy"! It feels really good to have him moved and getting settled more than six weeks before the baby's coming, so I can work on getting the baby's room all set up, and so we can go through this phase with him before we have a newborn too. Although if tonight is any indicator, hopefully the transition is going to go pretty well. We are very curious to see what happens in the morning though... :-)
