he's growing up

pbs is graduating into a "big boy bed" sometime this week. we bought the bed over the weekend and js has been putting it together bit by bit when he comes home from work. pbs seems to know what's happening but is still okay with sleeping in his crib for the next few days. once the bed is all put together, i think we're going to have some challenges for keeping him in his bed at nap time and at night. bed time might end up being my least favorite time of the day.

i guess it all comes with growing up. i'm sure my parents went through something similar with me when i was pbs' age. i don't remember switching from a crib to a bed but i am assuming that it happened since i do sleep in a bed now.

we're still in the middle of potty training but we haven't pushed it too much with all that has been going on. i think we will make a bigger push for it in the next couple of months. i'm ready to be done with diapers and the changing table. although we've been using pbs' changing table as sort of a dresser, with bins and boxes to hold pajamas, shoes, and other necessities. i've already got training pants and pull-ups for him. he likes to wear the pull-ups because they have the characters from the movie "cars 2" printed on them. he has seen the training pants and got really excited about those too because they have dinosaurs on them. he is all boy!

he's growing up so fast, right before my eyes. it's what we've been working towards over the last couple years. i'm really quite excited that he's growing up, learning how to do things on his own, and becoming very independent.
