Big Boy Bed

I was dreading the transfer to big boy bed. I remember what the transfer was like with Penny...she was much younger and much spunkier, but oh how I remember her getting out of her bed every few minutes to come see what we were doing and us leading her back and bedtime taking two hours before she'd finally fall asleep. Lucky for us, Porter appears to be much different from his sister. 

Last night, we made the transition to big boy bed in new big boy room. We followed the regular bed time routine and when we turned out the lights and turned on his music, he played with Elmo for a minute or two before falling fast asleep. He had a busy day celebrating his big 3rd birthday and he was tired. He woke in the middle of the night, unsure of where he was, but he fell back to sleep after some gentle reassurance. When he woke up this morning, the first thing he did was find his sister :) We will definitely have to try the green "Ok to Wake" clock to see if he'll stay in his bed until wake up time. But, overall, I'd say night one in the big boy bed was a success! Nice work Mr. P!
