last night

Charlie


Last night was huge. Big. Ginormous. You slept in your toddler bed for the first time, for the majority of the night. (You have been waking up screaming most nights since vacation and are awake anywhere from 5 minutes to 4 hours. Last night was a 2 hour night, but we both fell asleep in the chair.)

How did this happen? How are you old enough for this? Oh, wait. It is because you decided to climb out of your crib during quiet time. I was about to walk out of your room when I turned around because I heard, "I win. I cake," to see you straddling the crib. Yep. The front came down and the toddler rail went up. (The mandated quiet time will be so much harder now.)

So I didn't get to take a picture of your first night in the toddler bed, it was too dark by the time I could get in there. Tonight I did get a picture.

So how did it go down tonight? Well, after story and rocking, we walked to your bed. You would not let go of my hand as you climbed in and started pulling me with you. Yep. We were both in the toddler bed for a bit. You fell asleep, I started to get up, you woke up in a panic. So I sat next to you, rubbing your back, until you fell back asleep.

In other news. . . 

Joey's dream came true today. After over a year, he finally got to get in your bed. You were both cuddling, but someone got out and someone sat up by the time I got back with a camera.

Your Dada and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage today. We are celebrating tomorrow with dinner and a movie while your cousin C watches you. Crazy to think she is old enough to watch you, she was just our flower girl. . .
