(I actually had that hat from school and brought it home, and he thought it was SO fun to put it on and wear it! I also found a picture of myself dressed up like the cat in the hat from an event at school, so I'm thinking about putting the embarrassing pic in his room, thought it was too funny to pass up... we'll see.)
Getting ready to sleep in his bed for the first time. (don't you love the corner protector on the window sill? I know, looks awful, I need to get something more permanent!) It actually went ok last night, a little worse than I thought though. I thought he would just be so excited! At first he was. I made him a book with photos of him doing all of his night time routine, and there was a pic of him in his big boy bed in the book. So he was excited and we talked about it a lot. But then as we were tucking him in and saying goodnight, he started crying "no sleep in big boy bed!" He actually was wiping away tears, it was SO sad! We went in to say goodnight to his crib, and he starting saying "sleep in my crib!" I almost caved then and there. But I didn't really know a better time to have him start sleeping in his new room, so we stayed firm and he ended up falling asleep with me only having to go in his room twice to lay him down. Yea!!! So we'll see how he does tonight. It's naptime right now and he fell asleep in the car, then didn't stay asleep when I layed him down so he's been rolling around in his bed for over an hour. But at least he's staying in his bed!
This pic was taken this morning when he woke up. So proud!

First of all, LOL at the corner protector! I couldn't see it so well in the first picture but then later... HAHA I love it!
Okay, now I am ready to comment on what a big boy Cooper is! Sounds sad but still pretty good I'd say. Good for you to stick with it but :(.
Also, I totally vote for you to put the picture of yourself in his room. It doesn't have to be a big display but... yep!

I can't see the corner protector. What is it? I love the pic of him being so proud in the morning.
Yeah to cooper, it is such a process to move them. We moved Sam in Jan and then had to go through the process again in the new house this week - girl has earned a lot of prizes :)
The room is way too cool and creative.
The corner protector is a washcloth taped to the windowsill-so cute! :) Thanks for the compliment to the room Nichole, I am loving it so far, now I just need to finish it! I can't wait to see pics of Samantha's new room!
Yay Cooper! What a big boy he is - giving up a pacie & sleeping in a big boy bed! WOW!
You are so strong, Jess! It is so difficult to see your baby cry and not want to fix it! I'm proud of you for sticking with it...he's going to love his big boy bed soon (if he doesn't already)! And you were so creative in your efforts to guide him to sleep there! What a great mommy! I'm sure Ryan helped with all of this too, so give him a big pat on the back for us too. Hee hee!
Sounds like it's going really well with the big boy bed! I'm sure Cooper will be used to it in no time and will love being a big boy with his new bed! :) The Dr. Seuss hat is very cute! :)
