Evan's Big Boy Bed

Evan loved his crib and never tried to climb out. Earlier in the week he was very tired and actually climbed IN his crib. We figured that since he could climb in, he could easily climb out and get hurt. It was definitely time for a big boy bed! We had the converter set for his crib, so we hauled it out of the basement and created Evan's big boy bed. He was so excited that he even helped Daddy fix his new bed!


The first night that Evan slept in his big boy bed was a bit of a mess. He got up, turned the light on, played in his room, made a mess, got out of his room, etc. Thankfully, it has gotten better each time we put him to bed for a nap or for bedtime. He usually stays in bed and goes to sleep. We are so proud of our big boy! (Now we just need to tackle potty training. He is SO stubborn with that!)

Evan helped Daddy carry the converter set upstairs so that we could make him his new bed.

I LOVE my new bed!



We got to start a new tradition. We now read our books in bed!



This is what Evan's room looked like after getting to sleep in his new bed for the first time! What a mess! Thankfully he is doing MUCH better now!
