A big boy bed?

Well first this goes there...


Then you go like this...


Then you test it out for comfort...

Have a story or two...

And as of today, you sleep in it and not your cot!

We took the leap today and put James in his 'big boy bed' for his daytime sleep. He didn't hesitate going to sleep, just rolled onto his tummy and settled in for a 2 hour sleep.
Tonight we thought we'd try it and if he didn't stay we'd put him into his cot, but he went straight to sleep again and hasn't said boo since... So far so good we say but the morning will be the test... (especially since daylight savings ended today!)

The bed that he's sleeping in has been handed down through Matt's family since it first belonged to his Uncle Peter who is 58 years old! It's a gorgeous little bed, smaller than a single bed but bigger than a cot.

It's days like these when you realise how quickly your kids grow. All the time we're amazed by what James knows, learns and comprehends...

We love when he says "Sowwy" as he pushes past you to get to his destination, as he leans in for a "Noice kiss" which now has the kiss sound rather than a mwah, as he shrieks with excitement when he sees the 'kookataburra' sitting in the old gum tree, and as he delights us with each new word and each new concept.

And while that's all going on, we've got a beautiful little girl who is smiling from ear to ear, watching us as we move about, and sleeping so peacefully (most of the time).

And all of this is happening in our new home...

We're living a charmed life, Matty & I!

And I promise, photos of the new house will be posted within 48 hours... Promise!!
