Tyler's new BIG BOY bedroom!!

For the past month or so Tyler has been sleeping HORRIBLE...I mean, worse than an infant!! So, Chad and I figured maybe he is too big for the crib....or maybe he just wants his Mommy all the time. We put him in the spare bed w/ rails until we got his new big boy bed. We wanted to find something perfect!! Well, on Saturday we picked out the perfect bed and dresser!! They delivered his new big boy bedroom today!! Tyler was soo excited!! We watched the guys carry his bed and dresser up to his room. He was so anxious to go in there to see it. As soon as the guys were done he got the BIGGEST smile!! He said, "Big Boy Bed" It was too cute!!

Tyler and I went to the store to pick out bedding and he got SOOOOO excited when he saw Dora and Boots!! I felt so bad that I had to tell him we could not get Dora. He started to cry. It was so sad...how do you explain to a 2 yr old he can not have something like that?? We made a compromise...I told Tyler we can get a Dora and Boots book and we will get a different quilt for his new bedroom. It was so cute!! He was fine w/ that!! So, we ended up getting this camo-like bedding for now. We want to do an under the sea type theme. Chad wants to put a mini fish tank in his bedroom. He would LOVE that!!

So, the BIG question I am sure you are asking ...Did Tyler sleep all night long?? No :( .....
But, he did not wake up until 3:30AM. (this is MUCH better than 11PM and/or 1AM) He called my name.... He did not scream, bang on the door, and/or throw himself against the door this time!! Thank Goodness...Nothing is harder on me than listening to my little boy scream/cry for me!! So, I did go up there and check and him and he just needed a Mommy hug!! I told Tyler he needed to go back to sleep for just a little bit and then we could get up together...He did! :)
Hopefully, soon he will start sleeping all night!!! This is so hard on me (Chad too) but more me since I am the one who gets up w/ him..Anyways, enough complaining! Here are some pics of his new big boy bed!!!

Sleep little one...
