we switched chet to a real bed when we moved into our new place.
i am sooo not ready for my little boy to be in a real bed!
but we figured it needed to happen with the new baby only a couple months away.
chet is a very careful boy so we were pretty sure he wouldn't want to get out of the bed without our help. and we were right.
he just calls for us when he wakes up and waits for us to come get him.
he has done so good with the change.
i think he feels special in a big bed. he doesn't usually want to get out of bed now!
for those of you who plan on making the move to a real bed in the near future, i found a neat idea on pinterest that worked for us..
we put a pool noodle under the fitted sheet along the outside edge of the bed to keep chetty from rolling off.
and it works like a charm.
another 'big boy' thing that chet has been up to lately is saying prayers.
a couple nights ago we decided to let chet say our family prayer before bed. (with help, of course)
it kinda went like this:
father.
thank you bed.
thank you tanky.
thank you mommy.
thank you daddy.
thank you fun.
jesus.
amen.
his prayer was so simple, but matt and i both felt the special spirit that chet brought to the room. it was precious.
i have heard lots of little kids say prayers like his before, but this time it really hit me that Heavenly Father listens to even the simplest prayers.
it will be exciting to watch chet gain his own testimony as he grows.
we have been absolutely spoiled with family time the past 11 days.
matt met chet and i down in arizona on the 8th and our little family has been inseparable ever since.
matt just started his internship today.
it has been lovely :)
we have been able to spend all sorts of time doing fun things with chet.
the only downside is that, after all that special time with dad, chet was pretty bummed when i was the one who got him out of bed today.
when he saw me he started crying and saying, 'no! daddy!'
if i didn't think that matt deserved all the fuss i would have been offended... but matt and chet have a cute bond that i am never going to beat.
