Last weekend we finally went out and bought Aiden a big boy bed! It was very bittersweet moving him out of his crib, but it was definitely time! It has been a much easier transition than I thought it would be and he just loves having his own big bed.

We haven't had any trouble at bedtime, he just snuggles up and goes right to sleep. Naptimes have been a little harder, a couple times I had to go in and discipline him for jumping on the bed (I can't blame him though, I know I would have done the same) or being too rowdy, but overall he has done a fabulous job adjusting and for that I am SO thankful!

He looks so little in the bed!

He is still using his crib blanket, but it barely covers his legs. I need to see if I can find a good deal on a cute bedset for his big boy bed!

In the past month or so, Aiden has really become very sweet and loving. He has always been a sweet boy, but he has become much more expressive in showing it. It just blesses my heart. So many times in the day he will climb into my lap and give me a big hug and kiss and tell me that he loves me. I think there are few things in life as precious as this. A couple nights ago we could hear him calling for me over the monitor (yes, we still use it!) asking me to come and snuggle with him. Of course, I was only too happy to oblige, and so I climbed into bed next to him and we spent a good 15 minutes just snuggling, talking to each other and singing songs. This coming from a boy who is always on the go and really struggles with self-control, what a joy!

Akemi   | 69.235.24.xxx | 2010-01-11 22:36:17 Oh~ so precious how Aiden wants to spend time w/ mommy:) Caleb does same thing lately and asks me hugs and kisses more often. Glad to hear the transition to a new bed is much easier than you thought. Probably Aiden is already mature enough to stay in bed when parents ask him... Reply

Mom Bennison   | 82.34.57.xxx | 2010-01-12 13:07:42 His new bed looks so nice and big and he can't fall out when the board is in place. I am very keen that he is so affectionate towards you and Carl, Melitsa. It makes so much difference to a family when the children show the love they have for their parents. As for him bouncing on his bed, I think all children try to get away with doing that. I know you did and I know I did. Reply

Danyelle Toplov   | 154.5.206.xxx | 2010-01-15 22:15:47 I can see how your heart rejoices over his sweet ways. I only wish Jaida wanted to cuddle more. So glad to hear the transition to big boy bed has gone so well. He must feel so important climbing into it. :) Reply

Jo   | 69.234.176.xxx | 2010-01-16 22:56:09 So glad the transition was so easy. We have the opposite problem. Vijay has no problem with settling down for his nap but takes forever to settle down for his night time sleep. So cute Aiden wants to snuggle! Reply
