No more crib

Wyatt has been asking to sleep in a bed and we finally gave in.  Actually, it was Keith who gave in.  Keith put him to bed and came up and told me that he let him sleep in his bed.  Of course I had to run downstairs and see him and take pictures.  Wyatt was so excited.

He looked so little in that big bed.  I was really worried that he wouldn't stay in bed, but he didn't come out at all that night.

I love sleeping kids. They look so sweet.  Wyatt is a handful right now, so it is nice to look at him sleeping and remember what a sweetheart he is.  He is throwing some major fits lately.  He is so opinionated and stubborn.  He will not back down easily.  I forgot how difficult young kids are when you can't reason with them.  He has to do everything by himself now.  He loves to say prayers and wants to say it every time.  It is so sweet.  He says, "Heavenly Father, this day, bless ... (then he usually names some of his cousins) Amen." 

We ended up switching Wyatt's bed when we moved rooms around.  He loves having all of his books right there.  He has done pretty well in the bed.  One night he just kept coming upstairs over and over.  I finally set up the porta crib and put him in it.  He didn't like that and stayed in his bed after that.  He has been waking up early though.  Usually around 6AM.  He was starting to do this in his crib.  I think he hears Keith getting ready in the morning.  Early mornings do not help with his fits!  It is fun to see him in his bed.  My little boy is growing up!
