Cam Cutes: Crib -> Big Boy Bed

When we moved into the new house, we also moved Cam into a new bed. We figured it was a good time for him to be making the transition to a big boy bed, so we spent a few months hyping it up and letting him go with us to pick out his new bed. He was very excited to move into the new house and start sleeping in his BIG BOY BED.

Cam's last night in his crib (January 1st) - of course I had to document the occasion

Here are a couple of pictures of Cam sleeping in his new bed. They are dark, but you can see that Cam still hasn't quite mastered the art of sleeping with his head on his pillow, under the covers. He is getting better, but every couple nights or nap times, we peek in to see him completely turned around with his head at the foot of the bed.

The first photo was his first night in his big boy bed. Notice the pink blanket acting as his temporary window covering. Not very manly for a Big Boy Room!!
This picture is about a week later, when we bought and hung up his permanent room darkening shades.

He does love his new bed, especially the drawers at the foot where he can store his books and treasures, and the shelves at the head of the bed, where he puts his Pooh bears, sippys and books. We have been lucky that it has been a pretty easy transition so far!

Kristin,

Thanks so much for these terrific pictures!

I have been wondering how it is going with Cam's new big boy bed, and to have pictures so that I can actually see it, is wonderful.

I too would love the bed with its various drawers and shelves--ahh, space for 'treasure', whatever they be!

Love,

Oh he is growing up :'( No just kidding, that is so cute!! Does he do good when he wakes up in to morning? Wanders the house or calls for you guys or what?

Aunt Pat - he LOVES putting things into the drawers. The toys and books that are in the various drawers rotate around, but there is always something in most of them. I was thinking that I would use the long side drawers as a place to store sheets, blankets, etc. Apparently Cam has other ideas though!

Jaime - He does really good when he wakes up - he just calls for us. He doesn't even get out of bed yet. I don't know if he knows he can get out on his own. :-P He just lies in bed and calls for us, and gets increasing louder if we don't come in quick enough. Every once in a while he falls back asleep if we don't come in quickly, so that is great. Overall, it is going really well though.
