We knew the day would have to come, although we have been avoiding it for the past month or so. Knowing that baby sister is arriving in September, Cole has to give up his crib. While I am excited for him to have a new big boy bed, I am also apprehensive about changing our routine. Cole is a champ sleeper and messing with sleep is not high on my list right now.
However, Sunday we just went for it. Cole woke up in the morning in a crib and went down for a nap at noon in a toddler bed. I have no pictures to post as they would not demonstrate the traumatic hour it took to get him to sleep. After he finally wore himself out fighting sleeping in the toddler bed, he crawled in, laid down and zonked out. We have had success ever since!
This morning he finally realized that he could get himself out of the bed on his own. I am hoping this doesn't create issues tonight for bedtime...but no time like the present to deal with it. He will get his real big boy bed in August when we put baby sister's room together.
It's still hard to believe in just 2 1/2 months we will be a family of 4...

Starting him young...
We enjoyed a nice stop at Starbucks this morning while out for our Sunday walk. The hard part of Cole's age is that he wants whatever it is that mom and dad have. Today, we both happened to have iced lattes from Starbucks. Obviously not a suitable beverage for a 19 month old. A temper tantrum started until daddy had a brilliant idea...
Nothing that a mini-vanilla scone and some chocolate milk in a tall Starbucks cup and a straw couldn't fix! Good job dad!
