First night in the Big Boy Bed!!!

Getting ready for his first night in his new bed! Charlie was very excited!
We started out with our usual bedtime routine... a few stories...brush teeth...one more story...lights out then a few songs. Then Charlie has a cuddle with Daddy and Daddy's special song. It went really well. Charlie did call a few times for us to come back in...which we did....it went on for about 1/2hr. Then I had one last cuddle...and it seemed like he wanted to go to sleep. So into his bed he went...and out I went. All was quiet for about 1/2hr...then we started to hear some noises....but no crying...no calling for Mommy or Daddy...so we just left him. I think it was finally about 9:30pm and he was quiet for good! (A bit late but we'll take it for the first night) He slept all through the night...waking at about 5:40am...still obviously tired. I cuddled him and he fell back asleep...but when I went to put him back in his bed...he didn't want to...he wanted to come in our Bed (which he usually doesn't want to do!?!?!?) He fell back asleep and I had to wake him at 7:15!!!
Charlie the Builder! Helping Daddy put the bed back together...
Gotta make sure measurements are correct!

Yay Charlie. We let Jacob help take his crib apart too and he also did the same thing about not wanting to sleep in his bed at first. I'm sure he will love it and the freedom of being able to get out
