THE big boy bed

This week we ordered Graham's new twin mattress and box spring. Nathan went and picked it up and moved the toddler bed into the nursery. He washed all the new sheets and covers and got the bed all ready for us when we got home from the IECP Potluck. Graham ran for 45 minutes straight right before we left, so after complaining of a stomach ache and getting a quick, much-needed bath, he crawled into his bed for a little Cat in the Hat, the same theme as his bed sheets.

As a side note, Graham gets so excited about the smallest details. He spent so much time noticing the designs in his new sheets. I love knowing the things he likes - which he makes very easy to do - and giving us opportunities to explore them. It makes most things we do together so fun. And I appreciate how genuine he is.

He looked so small in that giant bed with that puffy duvet. It looked so comfy that after a long day I wanted to crawl in with him. But, alas, he went to bed as a big boy in his big boy bed. He's really growing up and I'm glad to see it all unfold.
