So Proud of You

It is time to play a little catch up.  A little over a week ago we decided to move the queen mattress into Keegan room so that he could start trying to sleep in a Big Boy Bed.  We figured we would start off by trying to get him to take naps on there and then we were crossing our fingers that we could move to night time sleeping.  It started off really slow, and naps went ok.  There was a lot of getting up and opening the door and daddy standing outside saying " go lay back down"   We decided that we weren't going to push the issue really hard because Keegan has already been through a lot of change since bringing the baby home.  When we take him upstairs we ask him if he wants to sleep in the Big Boy Bed and at first for awhile he would say no, he wanted the baby bed.  Well about 3 days ago he told Matt that he wanted to sleep in the "Good Boy Bed" that is what Keegan calls it.  So Matt went up to rock a bye and Keegan wasn't too interested in it.  He just looked at daddy and said
"Good Boy Bed"  so Matt laid him down and sat in the chair for a few minutes and then left the room.  We were quite expecting him to be in and out of our room the whole night with this new freedom, but much to our surprise he didn't come in until morning.  He had slept in the Big boy bed the whole night.  I guess that first night he did cry a little so I went in to check on him and he said "mama lay down" so I did lay there for about an hour.  We were so proud of you Keegan.  That was a pretty big deal.  So we have tried it the last 2 nights as well and he has done GREAT!!!!  He is sleeing in the Big Boy Bed all by himself.  I absolutely love about 7:30 in the morning when he comes running in our room screaming " Hi Daddy"  then he crawls up on the bed and snuggles with us for a few minutes.  He is growing so much and as much as I miss the smallness of our little boy, I love to see how much he grows and changes.  I just want him to know that we are so so so proud of him, he is such a funny little boy and he is such a blessing to our lives and our family and I am looking forward to seeing his example as a big brother.  I love you Baby K.
