On Saturday we went to our church's Christmas production of Unwrapped, an original musical. It was really good. They provided childcare during that, so afterwards we went to pick Graham up. He happily came out to greet us in the hallway. Then he quickly ran over to a bulletin board that had cute little gingerbread men that the preschool children had made and decorated. Well, I told him to say goodbye. I meant to say goodbye to the nursery workers, however he looked at the gingerbread men and said "Goodbye Curious George!". The gingerbread men were brown and I could see the resemblance. It was pretty cute.
The other cute moment happened this week. We transitioned Graham to a toddler bed and he has been doing wonderfully with it! We're really proud of how good he's been. We haven't had one single issue, he loves being able to climb in and out of bed and is so excited about it. We know that this could change and he could suddenly decide not to stay in bed, but for now we are showering him with praise.
The second night of sleeping in his big boy bed, we were hosting Bible Study at our home. Our study started at 7, and that was a bit early for his bedtime. Ellie was already in bed and not other children were here, so we told him to play in his room for a little bit. We put his train set in his room and he played nicely for about 15 minutes. Then he started to come out. I decided to go ahead and put him to bed. I allowed him to put his trains in bed with him, but he wanted more of the train set. I said no. So, he went to bed without any fussing, however a few hours later right before I was going to bed I checked in on him.
Sure enough...every single piece of his train set, plus the plastic storage bin we store it in were in his bed with him. He was sound asleep, however one single movement by him would've sent it crashing to the ground. We quietly picked it up and put it back on the floor. The next morning when I went to get him out of bed everything was back in his bed with him. We never heard a peep out of him, so it must have been the first thing he did when he woke up! Too cute! :)
Aww, too cute. We're terrified of transitioning Asher into a toddler bed. He thinks he's ready and he probably is but we had such a hard time with Tatiana that we don't even want to approach it. Way to go Graham!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Asher will be totally different than Tatiana! Graham was SUPER easy. I was really scared, but we haven't had one single problem so far. Once we put him to bed he stays there, well...he's gotten out to get something off the floor a time or two, but he climbs right back into bed. We know that could change, but so far he's been so good about it!
