This weekend I finally took the plunge and turned MJ's crib into a toddler bed, sad mama here:(
Last month he started climbing out of his crib so I immediately took out the bottom of the crib and put his mattress on the floor. Which has worked. However now he just started attempting to scale those walls and has bumped his chin a few times. So to avoid any other injury here we are.

| Clearly he's thrilled about it! |
He loves being able to climb in and out of his bed all by himself. He shows anyone who comes over his new bed and asks everyone to get in his bed with him. Plus side, now when he asks Dave or me to get in his bed with him it's much easier.
Yesterday was his first nap in this big boy bed. He did pretty well, got in and out of bed at least 8 times but stayed in his room. He sat with his back against the door hitting it for about a minute then ran to his bed, face-planted and was out. He took his regular 2.5 hour nap. Last night was no problem. Nap today he only got in and out of bed 4 times and took the usual 20 minutes to fall asleep and stayed in his room no problem. Hoping tonight is just as uneventful! Fingers crossed.
Last night we had a little baking/pajama party with my best friend Tiffany who is back for Christmas from North Carolina.
We make homemade Rice Krispie Treat Christmas Trees.
Madden preferred to eat his work at first and hoard all the M&M's. But soon got the hang of "frosting" the trees and wanted to put ALL the decorations on his trees.
The best art work is work you can eat!

| Then Aunt Tiff decided to teach Madden a new trick, the human swing. Which is quite the workout with a 30+lb toddler, thanks for that Tiffany!! |
