Well, he pretty much LOVES his bed. and the past 24 hours he has slept like a champ, like nothing was ever changed. I have pics of him in for the first time and everything and I will post those when I get a chance. (we are in the process of painting the outside of our house which is where i should be right now...helping Brandon).
Yesterday morning when he woke up, it was seriously the most cutest (do those words even go together??) thing ever He woke up and said, "mommy! m0000000000000000000000m!! mommy!! mama!!!" which is typcial, but then Brandon and I just hollered (yes, I just said hollered heehee) from our room down the hall and said, "hey buddy, you can get out of your bed yourself!!" and then all of a sudden we heard....
thump
opening of his bedroom door
pitter patter pitter patter pitter patter
then he just stood in our doorway BEAMING with pride
and yes, I teared up again. I'm so daggone emotional!
He climbed into bed with us ("up up up up mama up up") and we snuggled for like 15 minutes. we cherished every moment...
They really do grow fast. You don't realize it until one day you look at him and think "wow...since when did he become so independant" I'm sure I will think those exact same things (and cry too) when he gets on the bus to go to kindergarten, or when he drives away in his car at 16...and definetly when he goes off to college if that is what he chooses to do. But for now...we are going to cherish every little milestone he acheives on his own, like getting out of his bed by himself, and cheer him on every step of the way! Way to go BIG BOY LUKE! love ya buddy.

A big boy bed for such an independent big boy. Yeah for you Luke. It is fun to be able to get up from your nap all by yourself. Thanks for a fun time on Sunday. Have a good day. Hope you can come over and play with Josie later this week.
