BIG BOY BED!!

Wasn't it just yesterday that Dave was putting together the crib for our "Baby Hickman" to sleep in?? Here we are, 2+ years later (ALREADY), and we're converting this crib into a big boy bed for Ethan William Hickman!!! My baby isn't a baby anymore!

This past Friday we decided to take the plunge and convert Ethan's crib into the daybed ('big boy bed' as it's called by Ethan). I wanted to do it at the beginning of the weekend, so if we needed to go back for any reason, we weren't trying to coordinate during the work week. Ethan liked "helping" (which means, jumping all over his mattress). I honestly can't believe what a smooth transition it was though. He uses his little step-stool to jump up in bed and is just oh so proud of himself. He even stays in there once he wakes up. I've thought about telling him the little secret that he can get out of bed once he wakes up, but I think we'll keep that a secret for now.
