Getting too big

Someone got his new big boy bed this weekend.  It’s in between being a loft and a junior loft.  It was made by my uncle for my cousin over 20 years ago.  My other uncle cut it down so it’s just tall enough for Boog to fit underneath without bonking his head on it.

Boog is super excited to have a big boy bed and have room to stretch since he was as long as his toddler bed at this point.  He likes that he has room to play up there if he wants and finds it hilarious that he can touch the ceiling.  He keeps forgetting that his has to crawl and can’t stand when he’s up there.  It’s only been two days, so I imagine he’ll remember soon enough.

He runs around and stands under it, just because he can lol.  I told him we’d turn it into a little hiding space for him, like his own little clubhouse.  I’m going to try to find either a dinosaur or Transformer curtain to hang across the front opening for him and maybe a small lamp to put on the dresser that’s going to be under there.

Day 6 - A whole mess of stuff

Last night I made these for dinner...It's what I had planned for tonight, but hey, Boog saw hot dogs and wanted them last night...I did almost the whole pack of dogs, but held two back, just in case he didn't like them with the cresent rolls on them.

And let me just say that he ate both of them...and said they were yummy...he didn't eat the last bite of the second one, but i think i'm okay with that lol...

It's amazing the things that can be turned into toys!  He thought the empty bottle was awesome...

I got in the shower this morning and there was NO dog in my bed...I come back and there's a big oaf...

Big oaf has claimed the child...

And then woke him up by licking his back...WTF...

Obviously he was not happy about being woken up in such a manner...hell, let's be honest...he wasn't happy about being woken up at all...but he still loves his Big Oaf...

Update on "See My Bed"

We're kinda making progress with Boog sleeping in his own bed...

Night 2 he fell asleep on his own in his bed...but he woke up in the middle of the night and ended up in our bed...

Night 3 he fell asleep in the car and was then deposited into his own bed...but he woke up twice and climbed into our bed...The first time I put him back in his once I woke up to pee...The second time I just rolled him over into the middle lol...We woke up in the morning and I asked him what he was doing in my bed "Nothing" (sounds like nusing lol), asked him why he wasn't in his bed and he said the same thing...

Last night he got right into his bed but it was kinda early for us and he didn't want to go to sleep...he was fussy, I was tired, his dad was cranky and Boog just wouldn't stop whining, so I told him to come on...Once he fell asleep I got up to use the bathroom and put him in his bed...he woke up and climbed in the middle probably three times, each time I put him back in his bed. This morning he woke up before I needed to be up and got into the bed and asked for Barney...I told him if he got back in his bed, I would turn Barney on for him...he didn't want to, but finally did...and that's where he stayed until my alarm went off...

This is him laying in his bed last night...He made me cover him up with both of his blankets...and again this morning when he was watching Barney..."Cover me Mommy"

We'll see what tonight brings...

"See my bed"

Boog has always slept in the bed with me...He has a crib that we pretty much never used...Part of the reason for that is anytime someone other than me and the Boy takes it apart, they break a piece of it...same piece...expensive piece apparently...

So we've started getting his room in some semblance of usability and order...Part of that is trying to get him excited about his room and his bed...Which has been kind of working...He keeps wanting to show people his bed "Go downstairs see my bed" - downstairs really being upstairs lol...

The night before last, he said he was going to sleep in his bed...he didn't lol...we went in there and he laid down with the light off for a few minutes and then told me he wanted to go to my bed...

Last night we brought his mattress into our room on the floor...start out slowly and gradually move him into his own bed in his room...he was tired and trying to go to sleep, but it just wasn't working for him...the Boy laid down next to him on his mattress and he was out in literally two minutes or less...he woke up sometime in the night and climbed up with me...but i think that was more about being cold than anything else...his blanket he was using is small, long but not wide, so when he moved too much, he couldn't easily get covered back up...tonight, we try a bigger blanket and see how it goes...

This morning when he saw my sister Skippy, he tried to take her back upstairs to "see my bed" that was on our floor lol...
