Big Boy Bed

This has been our first week that we have had Michael in his big boy bed. We ended up just putting the mattress on the ground so he could get used to that and then we are going to buy a bed frame. I will tell you though he LOVES having the bed on the floor he runs and throws himself on the bed and then laughs. It is so adorable. So I tried the whole put him in bed, tell him to go night night and leave the room. Then once he came out I would just put him back. Well that didn't work out so much. So what I have been doing this week is laying in bed with him until he falls asleep. I know this is a bad habit to start but I think I am going to give him another couple of days to get used to the fact that this is where he sleeps from now on and then try to leave him in there. We will see how it goes. He has been doing great as long as I lay there with him till he falls asleep. I still can't believe he is going to be two in two weeks.





I just wanted to share a couple of photos of how we have been spending our days. I have been trying to get out of the house more often. Now that Mia is a little older and not feeding every hour it is getting a little easier. So we have been going to the park almost every day. We go hang out at the park and Michael will play on the playground for a little bit and then I will take a long walk around the neighborhood. He has done great but one day he fell asleep right at the very end and I turned around and he was practically hanging out of the wagon dead asleep. I was cracking up so depending on how long we play I sometimes don't go for a very long walk. I have met some women at the park and they have told me about a community website for moms that we have. I have joined and hopefully will meet some other moms in the neighborhood.
