My baby is growing up

Yesterday Shawn converted Hagen's crib to a daybed. We were thinking about doing it sometime soon but I wasn't quite ready...I mean, Hagen hadn't been giving us any indication that he was ready to move out of his crib but Shawn had quite a few friends whose children were already in "big kid" beds by now so he wanted to try it. So yesterday afternoon Shawn converted the crib. We brought Hagen in after it was done and he climbed into the bed and played around for a little bit and pretended to lie down. He seemed to like it! He has a little stepstool by his crib so he climbed up on that and there's a little bit of space between the side of the crib and the bed rail so he can get in and out by himself. When I put him to bed last night we went through the same routine and I let him climb into bed and it was like nothing changed - he slept just fine, didn't get up during the night (at least, not that I know of...) and slept until I came to get him this morning. And when he woke up he just climbed out of bed like he'd been doing it forever. Then he sat on the stepstool and just smiled. I told him I was SO proud of him. He's so adaptable! We're so lucky.

Brave parents. Amy and David just changed Benjamin's bed over a month or so ago and he's 9 months older than Hagen. But he is also one to roam out just to say hi to you. :)
