Big Boy!!

Z has learned to climb out of his bed, so I decided to try him with it converted as a toddler bed.  I was so nervous about this day.  I have known it had to be coming for awhile, and he began climbing out at a later age than the older children did, but I was really  nervous.  He wakes up a lot at night, so I didn't know how he would do. 

 So far, he is doing really well.  He enjoys it.   He has been very good about staying in the bed and going to sleep well.  Crossing my fingers that it continues.  He enjoys being a big boy I think.  I think knowing he could climb out, and being an active boy, it was so tempting to climb out.  He enjoys boundaries, so I have really been surprised that he has stayed in his bed as well has he has now that he has free access to get up.

 This last picture is to just share an idea I had.  Both boys enjoy thick blankets, comforters to sleep.   I don't like the toddler bedding they make, and a twin comforter was so big, and I was constantly having to cram it in my washer b/c of leaky diapers, accidents, sickness etc.  I have had this comforter below forever, but really liked it, so one day I decided to just cut it in half.  It worked perfect to do it.  I cut it in half and then just sewed up the edges.  It is the perfect size for a toddler/crib comforter.  So, that now they not only fit in the washer easily, but there are 2, 1 for each bed, or also a spare while one is being washed.   Now I am thinking I would like to find another so that I can have rotating b/c it seems I am always having one in the wash.  I am really wanting to redo/decorate/paint their room though, so want to find something.  I have 2 ideas going through my head.  Either "Sock Monkey" theme, or "Eric Carle" (author/illustrator of the Hugry Caterpillar and Brown Bear what do you See)  I can't decide.  It needs to be a calming color, and a simple decor.
