Big Boy Bed

We've been procrastinating.

Tonight we finally decided to turn Steven's crib into a toddler bed. We've been talking about it for months. He's slept in big boy beds at hotels, at the vacation beach house, at grandma's but for some reason we weren't quite ready to do it at home. He never seemed to complain about it so we didn't need to make the change.

However, the last few weeks have become a struggle. He won't fall asleep until he has a drink three different times. He wakes up multiple times because he is thirsty. And recently he is waking up to go potty. Now, I am not going to be naive and think that a big boy bed and his ability to go to the bathroom on his own (since there are no sides holding him in) is going to solve the night waking problem but maybe it will help a little bit?

So far he went to sleep without any extra drinks and I can hear snores sounding through the house. We'll find out by morning...
