Well... It's official. We put up Jaxon's big boy bed and tonight will be the first night of him sleeping in it... (wish us luck).
We were lucky and got the mattress, box springs, and frame for $50.00 from someone in our stake. It has only been used for about 3 years so we were excited to get a bed for so cheap!
We wanted to make this as exciting for Jaxon as possible so of coarse we got his favorite sheets.... TOY STORY! They are VERY bright and "loud" but he LOVES them haha. The comforter is also reversible and the other side is a lighter blue and much more calm so we can always switch. :)
I have to admit I am a little sad - after we put up the bed I had Jaxon lay in it and he looked so small. I can't believe he is in a regular bed now. I almost cried. Haha - pathetic I know, but I'm pregnant - give me a break!
On another note - on September 3rd we were at a JRCLS (J. Ruben Clark Law Society) get together and Jaxon and this other cute 2 year old Sam were running around and ran right into each other and bonked heads. It looked really bad. Jaxon's eye immediately started to swell. I didn't take this picture until the next day and it doesn't do it justice, but here is his eye swollen...
Then... it bruised - bad. Haha - it started out yellow and green....
And finally it is just black. You will also notice we finally cut his hair.
I also just had to post this picture. Jaxon NEVER sleeps with Dan or I. If he is on our bed he is jumping and wrestling with us. Well he was VERY tired because he is no loner taking naps so by 6:30ish he is pooped and Dan came home early from school and went and laid with him and I went in after a few mins and saw them like this. It melted my heart. Was I a little jealous that Dan got to cuddle and fall asleep with him YES - but maybe one day he will fall asleep with me!
Now that the crib everything is out of Jaxon's room - it is in our office which will become the baby girl's room. It looks like this as of right now which is KILLING ME! But it won't be like this for long and we will start getting things in place for Baby Girl Garner.
How exciting! Good luck with the big boy bed! I know I will just fall apart when I have to put Rylee in one... :(
ReplyDeleteOh, how exciting!! Jaxon will do great! He is going to LOVE having a big boy bed. And I think it's great that you're switching him early enough for him to forget about "his" crib...that way he's not going to be as jealous when he sees the baby using it. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for his black eye, what a champ! He's such a tough boy. I can't believe he got a black eye.
And my heart melted too when I saw that picture of Dan and Jax sleeping. Daddy-son bonding time is the cutest thing ever!
