More proof that Joshua is no longer my baby, we moved him to a big boy bed a few weeks ago. He loves it, as you can see from the picture, although sometimes he ends up sleeping on the floor. That is better for your back anyway, right? :)
The benefits to this change for us are: no more worrying about his habit of climbing out of the crib and ending up on the floor, head first; a happier kid at naptime and bedtime (he still gets upset, but then just goes and plays if he doesn't feel like sleeping); and the biggie is he is content to be in his room most mornings until 6:30 or 7! Hallelujah!
The disadvantage is a huge mess of a room some mornings and afternoons after naps (we quickly realized the markers had to be moved to another room--I got him up one morning and he was covered in marker, he had even colored some of his hair!).
All in all, we are all happy with the change. Thanks Grammy Barb for getting us the new bed!

Wow! That is awesome! Has he figured out how to open the door and find you? We are about to make the switch and since Seren can reach the doorknobs, and knows how to open them, I worry about her taking a tour of the house during the night! GO JOSHUA! And the fact that he is sleeping in/playing in during the morning hours ROCKS!
