Big Boy Bed

After months of anticipation, numerous threatening calls to an unnamed retailer and lots of talk about what “big boys” do… Jakey slept in his new big boy bed last night for the very first time!I woke-up in the middle of the night and James was gone.  Apparently Jacob was “‘cared” and needed his Daddy to lay down next to him on the bottom bunk.  He just doesn’t seem to find his Key-Rex dinosaur or Fire Lady particularly comforting.

I’ve come across several kids who treat their beds like islands that they’re trapped on.  I’m pretty sure Jake is not an island child.  How do I know?  When he yelled this morning that he was awake, James told him to get up and come in himself.  We heard him climb down, open two doors and then climb up into our snugly bed.  As long as this is happening after 6am, this new big boy bed could be a major improvement in the morning Jake-up call.
