Gracen's Big Boy Bed


A while back, I decided it was time to make the switch from crib to toddler bed.  I was worried about him being able to get out of bed, but it was time. 
He was so excited!  Brynlee was too!
The first morning, she came upstairs and when she saw him, she asked in the sweetest
little voice, "Gracen, did you sleep good in your new bed?"
I loved how excited she was for him to reach this milestone!
True sibling love!

Gracen did well with it for the first couple weeks.  
He wouldn't even get out of bed until I told him he could.
Then...
One night after we put the kids to bed, I left to get some groceries.
I came back at about 9:45 and Gracen's door flew open.  He comes running out.
He said, "Mommy, I come out now?"  All excited like I would actually say yes!
Seriously?!  I asked Nate what was going on, and it turns out
Gracen had been playing quietly in his room, without Nate's knowledge,
for about and hour until he came out and said,
"Daddy....I built a boat!"
He was so excited about it too!

From then on, bedtime has been a little more difficult.  
As I am writing this, he is supposed to be napping, but instead,
He's up there talking to himself, giggling at who know's what, 
and NOT napping!
At least he's in his room, right???
