Sleeping Soundly in a Big Boy Bed

It's 10 o'clock and

he's asleep

in his

big boy bed!

We were able to get his room put together

this afternoon, the finishing touches

still need to be done,

but his furniture is up

and he's asleep in his bed.

I thought I might have to lay

down with him to keep him in his bed...

but when it came time to go to sleep,

Jackson asked to be read a bedtime story,

and

then told me to get out of his bed!

I still have lots of things to do before

I can say it is done,

but his bed is up and

ready to catch some zzz's.

It was funny to watch Jackson

"oversee"

the construction of the bed.

Scott built this bed for Austin when he was three

and now Jackson is getting

ready to turn three,

so it's a big boy bed for him!

He was very excited when we finally

got it all put together and the bedding on.

And now he is in there fast asleep...

all on his own...

no rocking...

nothing...

I'm a little sad.

He looked so big laying in his baby bed,

and looks so small laying in his bed tonight.
