Our BIG Little Bear

Two weeks ago, we had a baby boy who slept in a crib and wore diapers.
Now, we have a big boy sleeping in a big boy bed and wearing big boy underwear.
How can it be!?!


After he broke the zipper on his crib tent, and kept crawling out, we had to move him to his bed. This was tragic, as I had hoped to keep him securely zipped in his crib until kindergarten (or college). But, the transition has been less painful than I anticipated. For the most part he stays in his bed! He is definitely waking up earlier than he used to, but we are hoping that will work itself out (soon) :)

As for the potty business...I had planned to wait until kindergarten on this too (kidding), but the bear was ready. He had started asking to go on the potty more frequently and had started keeping his diaper dry at school, so we went for it. Loaded up on candy corn and did potty training boot camp style over the weekend! Once again, he surprised me with how well he did! Only a couple of accidents so far!?! He has even started telling us when he needs to go (sometimes). So proud of him :)

It's always so bittersweet when they reach these milestones. Less diapers to change is always a bonus, of course, but its so weird to see him in his little undies!?
