Cooper's (Semi) Big-Boy Bed

Cooper used to be a great sleeper! We would put him to bed around 8:30 without a peep and he would sleep soundly until we woke him up for school. However, since Cooper saw Caroline climb out of his crib a few weeks ago, we haven't gotten a sound night of sleep since. Since Cooper has mastered the art of climbing out of the crib, he comes to us in all hours of the night for different reasons - he's gotta go potty or he's scared - you name it. He has also learned how to undress himself and change clothes five times/day, so sometimes he comes to us in the middle of the night naked. You just never know with him.


I posted a comment on my friend, Stephanie's, blog a few months ago. She put her two year old twins in big boy beds. I laughed and swore that I wouldn't take Cooper out of his crib until he was about 10. Well, I have to take back my comment. Cooper's crib is no more. We were scared he would hurt himself climbing in and out of the crib. So, he moved up to a toddler bed today. He liked it so much that he wouldn't take a nap this afternoon and just wanted to play. I really hope this is short-lived. We really enjoyed our hour or so break on the weekends.


Anyways, I took a picture of him tonight after we relented and (finally!) went to bed. He looked so cute sleeping. I am so looking forward to his next venture into our bedroom!
