It's official. My four year old is finally transitioning to a big boy bed. A few months before Miles was born, we bought bedding and decorations for Oliver's big boy bed, but on the day we went shopping for mattresses, Oliver decided he wasn't ready. Well, since he had no problem sleeping in his crib, and we were buying new bedroom furniture for Miles room anyway, AND he has NEVER tried climbing out of his crib, we decided that it was fine to let him stay in there as long as he wanted. Well lately, we have been having some problems with Oliver forgetting that he is the older sibling and we decided that it might help him feel like a big boy if he had his big boy bed. So, we convinced him it was time, he picked out his own mattress which will be delivered on Friday, and this week we have been preparing for the switch.
So I still make Oliver have a 30 minute rest time almost every day, he doesn't have to sleep, but he does have to be quiet (this lets me nurse Miles, have some time to pick up, or just sit down and look at the computer). On days that he is really tired he still falls asleep, but those are few and far between, so I just had to take one last picture of my little guy sleeping in his crib. So sweet. His face still reminds me of my sweet little baby Oliver when he is sleeping! :)
