so long pack n play, you've been a good friend to us...

twin mattress on the floor. check.

fun new striped sheets. check.

new thomas the tank engine blanket. check. check.

one night down, a lifetime to go {in a big boy bed}.

today silas is 2 years and 8 months old and last night was his first night in a big boy bed {aka twin mattress on the floor}.

he had only ever gotten out of his pack n play twice: {once right after we got back to the states - he dropped his blanket out so used the nearby couch to get out - scared him when he couldn't figure out how to get back in}

{and the second time was monday night - a few minutes after we put him down we hear a knocking coming from his door and "mommy daddy i got out!"}

so when we asked him if he wanted to get a big boy bed and talked all about what that entailed, he was in. i figured we'd get one and leave it in his room for a few weeks so he could see it and get used to the idea. but last night at bedtime, as clear as anything he told us he was ready to sleep in his big boy bed. so he did. 

it was a little emotional {for me}. he's been sleeping in his pack n play since day 1 so this was a big step for all of us. 

but you are growing up, silas!  ready or not, here we go...
