::Big Boy Bed::

So, I know it has been a little while, and I apologize. I do post as often as I find time between work, cooking, cleaning, being a mom....oh how quickly life changes!

This past weekend was spent at home...Brant at MiMi and PawPaw's. Brandon and I got lots accomplished and that's where the story begins. As I was deep cleaning, sort of...and Brandon was cutting the grass in the rain, I decided that it was time to go ahead and change Brant's crib into a toddler bed since I was moving it to vaccum. I decided to be "resourceful" as I called it, and do it on my own. Without instructions, and without Brandon's opinion...I began. This was not so complicated...take off the front panel, put on the wood slat to keep the mattress from sliding. I could handle it. Well, after using my little wrench for a good while on my own I called in reinforcements. Brandon came in, assessed the situation, and determined that we did not have the proper screws to secure the new slat. Frustrated and impatient as I was, I said fine. He said, "so put the other back on?" I said, "I'll handle it."

Looking back I am not sure Brandon feels that my way of handling it was best. But my decision was to go ahead and take the rest of the crib apart, put the full matress for his future bed on the floor, and go from there. Needless to say...this is a jump without any type of warning for Brant. I will say that it is going fair. We had two great nights this weekend, due to the fact he was exhausted. However, last night he put up a fight. I think he slept by the door the entire night...he and Porter must have had a chat about it on Saturday. But, we are sticking to it and I am sure that I will report in no time he is a full fledge BIG BOY minus using the potty!

Here is a pic of him on Monday morning when I went to wake him up...priceless.



Also, Brant has had a few accidents since I posted last. He fell and hit his head on the coffee table, and then he went to Nanny's and hit her table and got a black eye. I don't have a pic of both, because I blew it, but I do have one of the first injury.


Here it is...



Look for a video later on...its of our "Little Tiger Woods!" I'll post it as soon as it uploads.


Love to all!

He is our Tiger - he proved that to me when he was here.

Please I need a copy of the "wake-up picture". That is really priceless. I have never seen so much hair.

Thanks for the update. I look forward to them.

Love you,

Nanny
