Fishing in a mud puddle

September 11, 2006

My baby is no longer a baby! Matthew has decided he no longer wants to sleep in his crib. He has been sleeping in his toddler bed for almost a week. He calls it his "little bed" and the crib is his "big bed." He is much easier to put to bed now. He would jump around and talk for an hour in his crib. Now we tuck him in, pray with him, and leave the room. He lays there for 10 minutes or so and goes to sleep. He is also taking himself to the bathroom whenever he needs to go, we don't need to remind him or anything. So he is now officially a "big boy." It makes me a bit sad and I refuse to take down the crib. I would love to adopt another one, but we need to save up a lot of money first.
