Ryebread is growing and maturing at lightening speed, which is a good thing and a sad thing all in one. But with a little sister coming closer each day, we think it's important to begin some transitions sooner rather than later.
After an exciting day on a field trip, we decided to keep the excitement going by transitioning Rye from a crib into a toddler bed. We also got rid of the rocking chair and replaced it with big boy furniture! A table and chairs just for him to color and play with toys whenever he wants.
We're hoping these changes will make Ryan feel like his room is his own personal fun space.
Mommy and Daddy were a little nervous with the toddler bed - both for fear of falling out and for fear he wouldn't stay in when it was time for bed. But Rye has been a trooper. Only fell out once during the first night (and went right back to bed with very few tears) and has been very good about staying in when it's time for bed.
The first nap time on Saturday was the most trying. It took about an hour for him to finally lay down and go to sleep, but nap times on the weekends are never much fun to begin with - and already today's nap was much, much better.
A few pictures of Rye's big boy room - shared with pride and slight apprehension as our little peanut continues growing up right before our eyes.
