Once we got back from Michigan, it was time to transition Samuel out of his crib (converted to a toddler bed) into his very own big boy bed. We wanted to do this now so that when baby came and he saw the crib again he would already be accustomed to his new bed and not feel as if the baby kicked him out.
This past week, Mike and I took his changing table and crib out of his room and moved it into the office which will soon become the baby's room. Samuel was sad to see his stuff go, but waved goodbye as daddy pushed it out of the room. We then spent time putting his new bed together and rearranging his new room. He was pretty excited about the bed, his new dresser and having plenty of room for his train table!
He also has transitioned to sleeping in his bed just fine. He does seem to get out of it more and have to check with us several times before he will stay in bed to go to sleep, but we think that is more of a stage for him right now.
Samuel also loves his new train table. This was Samuel's early birthday present from Gram. He loved pushing the train around and is really good about leaving the track together. Hopefully it will continue to be a great independent activity for him!
