Tonight Jonathan graduated to a big boy bed!! Tis very exciting indeed!! Although he never climbed out of his crib, he climbed IN several times so we thought it was time. Thankfully his crib converts to a toddler bed (and then later on to a twin bed) so the actual conversion only took Brian about 30 minutes.
Jonathan was very excited about the whole process. Not only because his bed was getting infinitely more awesome, but also because he got to help Papa with the construction and had some of his own little tools to work with.
Papa evaluating the situation:
Jonathan also making a survey (note his own little drill!)

"Ooooo Papa, you should probably let me handle that drill, let's trade"

"Well, this has to go"

Jonathan being Papa's "Man on the Inside:"

"I got it, Papa!"

He immediately started bringing in his toys:

The Production Crew:

Ta Da!

The whole thing was really so much fun, Jonathan's joy is so contagious and we were all pretty excited by the end!
So how did bedtime go? A M A Z I N G !!! I am so incredibly proud of my little man. We did his bedtime routine like we always do, laid him down in his crib and he never once got up and in fact he seemed to fall asleep even faster than normal!
Things like this keep reminding me of how fast he is growing up, he such an amazing little boy it's easy to get all mushy every time he starts doing more and more "Big boy" things! I love you little man!!
