We're at that stage with ours where he's turning from a baby to a boy. Lots of tears and wailing over the setting/firming of boundaries, and sometimes even the kid gets upset.
Love him for all the world. Verrrrrry glad he is asleep at the moment.
Oh, and I was absolutely blindsided today. He has always slept with us, but now is nearing three so we are all ready to shift him. Today, we went out to buy him a bed. How many of you already know where I am going with this?
I started out all
"Hurray, your very own bed! We'll get a cool blanket, set your room up, you'll love it!" Excited to make my little boy's room into a nice place for him to sleep, thinking of decorating possibilities and color schemes.
Looking at beds- *sniff* " But, but, but... I'm not ready for him to grow up..."
I had to leave. the. store. and go get myself together on the porch for awhile.
For crying out loud. He's not even three. It's a bed. A. BED.
Watching him play with babies is so odd. Really, I didn't realize how much he'd grown until this weekend, seeing him play with a few fifteen month olds and hearing "Come on, baby! Watch Nemo! Play cars?"
Bawl.
I remember one time we bought our little boys a toy that came in a big box.They had more fun playing with the box,than the toy that came in it.
Us grownups need to learn a few things from our little ones, to help prepare us for Heaven.
