Police Car

For Nolan's recent birthday, he received a police car from mom and dad.  It is a huge hit!

Big Boy Bed


We have graduated to a big boy bed! A couple of weeks ago, Nolan and I were downstairs playing where his future mattress was being stored and I asked him if he would like to have a big boy bed in his room.  He responded with a resounding "yes" because he says "yes" to almost everything these days.  So I had my answer and we promptly began to move it upstairs, just the two of us. I did most of the work but I had a little boy at the other end saying "push push."  Once we got it upstairs, I just made up the bed on the floor in his room for a few days to see how the transition would go before venturing to take apart his crib. The transition has gone great! He has done superbly and there has only been one morning when he must have heard us get up early and was bold enough to get out of bed.  He went to his door and knocked a few times.  There were no words, just pitiful little knocks.  We have since taken apart the crib and made it into his big boy bed.  He loves to run in there and be able to fling himself onto his bed or to catch a quick read! We try to remind him every time we put him to bed that he must stay in bed until we come to get him and now he says "stay in bed" if we fail to mention it!
