My little boy is all grown up

Mar 8, 2008 at 11:45

Well today was a big day for Benjamin. He got a new dinosaur costume (that dear mommy made for him... photos to come) and papa made him his own "big boy" bed.

Since Christmas, Ben has been crying every night when we put him down in his crib. We finally decided, "Why not put him in our bed and see what happens?" Well, lets just say there was no looking back. Ben took all of his naps in mommy and papa's bed and the only way to get him to go to sleep without the tears... you guessed it... he slept in our bed. However, when he sleeps with us, he is an early riser... a VERY early riser and he's not a very good "bed buddy" either. He likes to kick and push and move around as if he is riding a bicycle.

Let's just say, "This was not going to work."

Ben is helping papa with the new bed.



I think he likes his new bed.

Lumber... $30
Half an afternoon of build time... Free (thanks papa)
Seeing your little boy face down on the floor... PRICELESS
