Max's First Night in the Big Boy Bed

Friday night, Clint and I worked on switching Max's crib into the baby's room. He was kind of suspicious of us taking his crib, dresser, chair, and a few books into his new little brother's room.

He wanted to help daddy put the crib back together for baby. 

Max ended up sleeping in his crib for one more night because my parents were bringing his new bed and dresser Saturday. We thought he would wake up a few times because he was in a new room, but he actually slept better than he had in a couple of weeks. 

On Saturday, my parents came up to visit, and they helped paint one of the walls in Max's room. We put his bed up and got everything organized for his first night in a big boy bed. 

Max was very excited about his new room. He wouldn't stop jumping and running all over the place!

When it was time for bed, Max was pretty scared to sleep. We read a couple stories, but when I left, he started crying and wouldn't fall asleep. I brought him downstairs with me for a bit, thinking he would fall asleep on the couch and I could take him upstairs. That didn't happen. Finally, I ended up falling asleep with him in his new bed until around 12:15. Clint and I fell asleep around 1:00 and then a few hours later Max woke up and just ran into our room. That was a big change! We are definitely not familiar with him just waking up and walking around. That will be our next project- a way to keep him in there without traumatizing him ;)  He ended up sleeping with us for the rest of the night. The sad thing is, he fell out of our bed for the first time instead of his new one! He was fine, but we both ended up waking up around 6:15. Hopefully he will get used to his new bed soon. We love you big boy!!
