Big boy bed

Well we have certainly had a day of it today. We decided that Nathan needed to make the transition to a regular bed since he is getting way too big for the crib and I want to start toilet training him after Christmas. The room which we call his has up until today had a full size bed in it for visitors as well as the crib but we decided to take that bed out to make room for a twin. We spent most of the morning cleaning out the closet to make room for the full size bed and then part of the afternoon breaking down the bunk beds in Spencer's room so we could reassemble the top part in Nathan's room. Eventually the idea is to have Spencer and Nathan share a room and use the bunk beds properly assembled but that is something for another day, possibly another year! We were all enthusiastic about this new arrangement and told Nathan all day that he was getting a big boy bed. Finally all was set up and I decided to take him upstairs and introduce him to his new sleeping arrangements. At first it seemed to be going well. He jumped up and down and thought the bed was very fun. And then when he realised that he would have to sleep in there he wasn't too happy. In fact Gary had to hold him down while I took a picture. Then he made his hasty exit followed by a lot of tears. Just for fun I had him say cheese for a picture while he was still crying. The last picture has been dubbed "tortured two year old". Wish me luck tonight!
