In the car I told him he has a brand new bedroom.
"Don't want brand new," he said.
But once we got home, he was in awe and LOVES his new room! I made a big deal about him being such a big boy now and how special to have his own bed instead of the crib, etc. The weather was nice enough that I said we should go outside until supper, and he said, "No, Mommy! I'm staying in my Surprise!" and he wanted to play in his room with Lm for awhile.
Nightfall was difficult though as I knew it would be. He was frightened of the stuffed globe on the white drawer set and made me remove it from the room. He has a nightlight but last night he demanded I leave his door open. With a small house like mine, it meant I had to tiptoe and be super quiet. The bathroom is right across the hall and even with the door shut, he kept trying to talk to me: "Mommy, are you on the potty? Can I flush?" I went in the computer room and shut the door but he kept jabbering and singing.
I asked if I could take his picture of him on his first night in his new bed:
He said I could but only if I let him take a photo, and so here is his:
I took the camera back and got a shot of him laying down.
He gets so darn serious when I pull the camera out so I told him to smile. He's my sweetie-pie!
He finally fell asleep around 10:30. I heard a thump and ran in. He had rolled on the floor so I put him back in bed and he cried for awhile and FINALLY let me go to sleep. Tonight I hope goes better!

Oh Terri! What a baby doll! Too sweet! He seems like he was trying to be so brave. What a big boy! It should get easier each night. Pretty soon he will forget what it was like to be in his crib.
