Big Boy Bed

Tonight was the night my little man went to his big boy room. We tried to not make a big deal out of it, but we just quickly walked him in there and tucked him in. Not a peep, and he was out. I walked back in an hour later with a flashlight, and he was tucked in the same way I had left him, and he was sound asleep. Such a precious moment.
My heart aches, though, at the thought that he no longer will need a crib. My baby is not a baby, but an independent two year old. Alex will tear down the crib for the future children, and I will face the reality each night that I no longer have an infant in my house. What a blessed mom I am!

Spring Break!

Oh the joys of staying home with my little man. Yesterday marked the first day of our spring break. Rowan and I headed out to Hobby Lobby to get some scrapbooking paper to finish the letters for his big boy room. Then it was off to the grocery store to stock up for the week. It is at these nonstressful times that I realize how much stress the school year actually brings to my life. It is so peaceful to just sit and play with my little boy. I have made it a policy that the tv will stay off after 9:30 a.m. and we must play! I am looking forward to some bonding time!
