Resolution #12: Big Boy Bed!

Over the rainy 4th of July holiday weekend was a perfect time to move Tripp out of his crib and into a big boy bed in his new big boy room!  This was a new year's resolution of his, and we figured that a long, lazy weekend would be as good of time as any to (potentially) interrupt our sleep for the sake of his growing independence... ha.

So, we bought some rails and installed them onto one of the two twin beds in his big boy room.  These beautiful old beds were slept in by my grandmother, who is now in her 80s, and her sister... which still blows my mind when I really think about it.

The only downside to these antiques is that they are very high off of the ground, so the extra tall side rails gave us peace of mind that Tripp would be safe and not injure himself after a fall to the hardwood floors in the middle of the night.

Here's a photo of his very first night, which went very well!  Tripp stayed put all night long, no injuries or scares... so we consider it a success.

In the photo, you'll notice that Tripp has plenty of friends joining him to keep him safe from harm and to ensure that he has only sweet dreams.  Cookie Monster and Buzz are such good caretakers.

Ahhhh.... can't believe how fast he's growing up!

Happy hump day!
